Utah legislative audit finds minor errors in signature verification for statewide candidates, no fraud detected.

A Utah legislative audit found that most signatures submitted by candidates for statewide office were valid, though some errors occurred in the verification process. Governor Spencer Cox had a 2.4% error rate, but no evidence of ineligible voters or fraud was found. The audit recommended improvements to the signature verification system, including better guidance and chain of custody protocols. The findings do not affect the upcoming general election, as all candidates met the signature requirements.
