A rare special election is likely in Utah's future after news broke Tuesday that GOP Rep. Chris Stewart plans to resign.
Though nothing is official yet, Utah code gives the governor seven days after the seat is officially vacant to issue a proclamation calling for a special congressional election.
The proclamation must set the date for both the primary and general special elections. Utah code specifies that the primary must be at least 90 days after the proclamation is issued and coincide with an existing primary election. And the general election must be 90 days after the primary and coincide with an existing general election.
"The municipal primary election in August is not on the list of options for any potential congressional special elections," she said. However, the governor can set the dates for a special election outside of existing election dates if the Legislature gives its approval and appropriates the needed funds.
