What happens when a member of Congress resigns? Here's the process for replacing Rep. Chris Stewart in Utah.
Rep. Chris Stewart and Gayle Ruzicka at the Utah Republican Party election night party at the Hyatt Regency in Salt Lake City in November 2022. Stewart is expected to resign from Congress as early as this week.The bombshell news that U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart plans to resign his seat in Congress adds unexpected intrigue to the 2023 municipal election.
Unlike a midterm vacancy in a U.S. Senate or Utah legislative seat, a replacement in the U.S. House is elected, not appointed. Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that vacancies in the House of Representatives are filled through an election. However, states have broad discretion on how those elections are held.Utah’s process works like this. Within seven days after the vacancy occurs, the governor issues a proclamation setting the dates and timeline for a special election.
Using that calendar, the primary election would be Aug. 15, with the special election taking place on Nov. 7. The process for candidates to get on the ballot is similar to regular congressional elections, albeit with an abbreviated timeline. Political parties can hold a convention to nominate candidates, but they can only send one person to the ballot instead of two. Candidates can also collect 7,000 signatures to secure a spot on the primary ballot, but they’ll have between 21 and 28 days to meet that threshold.
