How to Remove Your Signature from a Ballot Initiative
To remove your signature from a Utah initiative petition, you must submit a signed statement to your local county clerk's office requesting its removal.
The statement must be received by the county clerk no later than the specific deadline, which is often 5 p.m. on the first business day after 90 calendar days from the day the clerk posts your name online, or an even earlier deadline specified in the law.
Submit a signed statement: You must submit a written statement, signed by you, to your county clerk.
Physical delivery: Do not submit the statement by electronic means unless the Lieutenant Governor has established a specific electronic process for this purpose. The statement must be delivered in person or by mail.
Meet the deadline: The statement must be received by the county clerk by the applicable deadline. The most common deadline is 5 p.m. on the first business day that is at least 90 days after the day the county clerk posts your name on the Lieutenant Governor's website.
Other deadlines: Be sure to check the specific deadlines for the initiative you signed, as there may be other, earlier deadlines, especially closer to an election date.
What the county clerk will do
If the statement is received on time and your signature can be verified, the county clerk will remove your signature from the petition packets and signature totals.
The county clerk will ensure your name is not included in any final postings.
Where to find information
Contact your county clerk's office or visit the Lieutenant Governor's website for the exact deadlines and any specific forms that may be required for the initiative you signed.
