Notice of Intent to Gather Signatures for Candidacy (NIGS)
| Filed Intent to Gather Signatures | Filed for Office |
What are the signature requirements to run for office?
Listed below are the signature gathering requirements for offices up for election in 2026. A candidate must file a “declaration of candidacy” form with the election officer and indicate his/her intent to gather signatures, on that form to get the signature gathering packet. In order for a signature to be valid, the person must be a registered Utah voter within the boundaries of the election at the time that their signature is reviewed by the county clerk’s office and must be of the same party as the candidate collecting signatures.
Change in the law now allows signature packets to be turned in prior to reaching the required minimum number of signatures, with supplemental signatures being turned in at any time following the initial submission. The signatures are verified in the order they are received. Therefore, if a voter signs two packets for candidates in the same race, that voter’s signature will count toward the candidate that submits the signature first.
Change in the law now allows signatures to be signed physically and/or electronically.
