Eligible Utahns in District 11 needed to submit a Declaration of Intent (CLOSED) by November 11, 2025, and complete an application packet by November 14, 2025.

Applications were reviewed for eligibility and Forward Party values and narrowed down to five applicants. Review the application and specifics of the narrowing process here.

Finalists’ ideas will compete on an equal playing field through the publication of their full candidate application packets and a single public online debate. Big spending is prohibited. The candidates agreed to a $300 maximum campaign budget.

All registered District 11 voters, regardless of party affiliation, can securely cast a ballot online using Approval Voting.

The election will be conducted through technology provided by Secure Internet Voting (SIV.org). See the Detailed Voting Plan to learn more: 11chooses.siv.org/plan

As a Qualified Political Party, The Forward Party of Utah has access to the State voter for party business. Voters with a “Withheld” status will still receive an invitation to vote, but their personal identifying information, which is not accessible by any political party, will not be included on the ballot.

As outlined in the Forward Party of Utah Bylaws, the results of this nonbinding preference poll will guide but not legally obligate the Forward Party Executive Committee in selecting a replacement for any legislative midterm vacancy.
