Stewart's resignation date is mid-September.
After a special primary, the special election day can only happen on a scheduled municipal general election, presidential primary election, regular primary election or a regular general election. According to Utah law, there must be 90 days between the special primary election and the general election.
As it stands now, the primary election for Stewart’s replacement would take place on Nov. 7, which is an election day in Utah, with the general election for the seat on March 5 – the same day Utahns vote in the 2024 presidential primary election. [Link]
The Governor said he's willing to call a special session to amend this law.
