*The Utah Debate Commission uses independent polling to determine which candidates qualify to participate in its debates. Candidates must receive at least 10% support in the Commission’s poll to qualify. The poll is conducted by an independent research firm using voter registration data from the Lieutenant Governor’s Office. The threshold is intended to ensure debates include candidates who have demonstrated a meaningful level of voter support while maintaining a manageable debate format.
