Three candidates will compete in a special primary election in Utah for the Republican nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, the six-term GOP lawmaker who'll step down Sept. 15
FILE - Bruce Hough and Celeste Maloy shake hands before the start of a 2nd Congressional District Republican primary debate for outgoing Rep. Chris Stewart's seat, Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, in Farmington, Utah. WASHINGTON — — Three Republicans will compete in a special primary election in Utah next week for their party's nomination to replace U.S. Rep.
Tuesday’s winner will face Democrat Kathleen Riebe in a special general election on Nov. 21. Riebe won her party’s nomination at a district convention in June., but the 2nd Congressional District, which has been reliably Republican, covers much of the same area in Western and Southwest Utah as it has since before Stewart took office. Stewart won five of his six elections with at least 59% of the vote.Utah will hold a special primary on Tuesday. Polls close at 8 p.m. local time , which is 10 p.m.
There is no mandatory or automatic recount provision in Utah, but a losing candidate may request a recount if the vote margin is 0.25 percentage points or less. In elections with fewer than 400 total votes cast, not applicable to Tuesday’s contest, recounts may be requested if the winning margin is one vote. The AP may declare a winner in a race that is eligible for a recount if it can determine the lead is too large for a recount or legal challenge to change the outcome.
