* A U.S. citizen at the time of filing
* 25 years old at the filing deadline time
* A three-year resident of Utah at the filing deadline time
* A resident for 6 months of the senate district from which elected at the filing deadline time

## Convention system[edit]

Utah has a unique election system that combines local conventions and party primaries. A precinct caucus is held to vote for delegates to county conventions. Precinct delegates vote at the county conventions to nominate candidates for state office. In order to forgo a primary election, a candidate must receive more than 60% of the votes at the county convention. If multiple candidates run and none receive 60% of the vote, the candidate with the lowest total is eliminated and another vote is taken. Once only two candidates remain, if neither receives more than 60% of the vote, both advance to the party's primary. Each party holds its own caucuses and conventions.[2][3][4]
