Elections 2024
On March 5, political parties will be nominating their candidate for President of the United States. Your participation in this process will help determine who is nominated to represent each party in the General Election this November.
Utah Election Law allows each political party to choose how they select their nominee for President of the United States and to determine who is eligible to participate, based upon political party affiliation. Only the Democratic and Republican parties have indicated their participation in this process.
REPUBLICAN PARTY
The Republican Party of Utah has chosen not to participate in the State's Presidential Primary Election, and instead will hold a Preference Poll in conjunction with their state-wide caucus meetings. These meetings will be held on March 5.
The Party has determined that voters eligible to participate in the poll will be restricted to those who are registered to vote as affiliated members of the Republican Party. Those who are unaffiliated or registered to other parties will not be permitted to participate.
The Caucuses are meetings of the political party; they are not administered by County or the State of Utah. You will not receive a ballot in the mail for this event. For more information about caucus meetings, locations and times please visit the Republican Party's Website https://utgop.org/2024-presidential-preference-poll/.
