How Do I Remove My Signature From a Petition?

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.

To do so, you must submit a written request asking that your signature be removed from the specific initiative petition. Your request should include:

Your full name
Your residential address 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 signature and the date of the request
Optional: your birthdate or age

This request must be submitted to your county clerk or local elections office within the time frame allowed by law. The deadline for removing a signature from a petition depends on when each petition packet is received and verified by the county clerk. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your request as soon as possible to ensure it is received within the timeframe allowed by law.

You can find contact information for your county clerk’s office at the following link: https://vote.utah.gov/county-clerk-contact-information/. Please note that you may NOT submit a request to remove your signature by email or other electronic means.
