FAQ
Q: How does registering with Forward affect my ability to vote in primaries in Utah?
A: It depends on which party primary you want to vote in, since you are only allowed to vote in one. The Republican party has closed primaries, meaning you must be a registered Republican to vote in their primary election. The Forward, Democratic, and United Utah parties hold open primaries. For any of these open primary parties, you simply have to request the primary ballot of the party you want, or else you will be sent the ballot of the party you are affiliated with. If you are unaffiliated, you can still request a primary ballot for an open primary party. For other parties, please contact them directly for information on their primary processes.
Q: Did Forward have a primary election in 2024?
A: No. There were no opposed candidates in 2024 so our primary was cancelled.
Q: What are the benefits of registering with Forward?
A: Registered party members can vote as delegates on party nominees, officers, and changes to governing documents at county and state conventions. Currently, one must be a registered party member to serve in county party, state central, and executive committee roles. And you get to help build momentum for the coolest new party in Utah!
