How Do I Remove My Signature From a Petition?
Signature Removal Request
Removing your signature from a petition is governed by Utah Code 20A-7-105(8) and 20A-1-1003. Under Utah law, an individual who has signed an initiative petition may request that their signature be removed.
The deadline for removing a signature depends on when each petition packet is received and verified by the county clerk. We highly encourage you to submit your request as soon as possible to ensure it is received within the legal timeframe.
Step 1: Write Your Request
You must draft a written request asking that your signature be removed from the specific initiative petition. Your request must include:
- Your full name
- Your residential address (exactly as it appeared when you signed the petition)
- The name or subject of the initiative petition
- A clear statement requesting that your signature be removed
- Your physical signature and the date of the request
- Optional: your birthdate or age
Step 2: Submit to County Clerk
This request must be submitted to your county clerk or local elections office.
🚫 IMPORTANT: You may NOT submit a request to remove your signature by email or other electronic means.
