What Democrats have to do to get a presidential candidate on the ballot in Utah

President Joe Biden announced over the weekend that it won’t be his name that appears on the ballot next to former President Donald Trump’s in November, including in Utah. With the Democratic presidential primary election over four months in the rearview, how will Democrats make sure they have a candidate on the ballot in the Beehive State?

Under Utah law, a registered party has until 5 p.m. on Aug. 31 to certify the names of its candidates. The national office of the registered political party must submit written authorization to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson to accept the certification of its candidates.

Democrats will nominate their presidential and vice presidential picks at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month. The Utah Democratic Party will have 34 delegates voting at the convention, including some of the top elected Democrats in the state like Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson and House Minority Leader Angela Romero, of Salt Lake City.
