Lindletown board cancels 2025 municipal election after no challengers file
Summary
The Lindletown board adopted a resolution Oct. 1 directing the town recorder to cancel the 2025 municipal election after no candidates filed; the board called for posting and publishing required notices and notifying county and state election offices.
The Lindletown board voted Oct. 1 to cancel the town's 2025 municipal election after no candidates filed for town council or mayoral seats, directing the recorder to publish and post required notices.
Why it matters: the cancellation avoids election expenses and follows a provision of Utah election law permitting cancellation when no contested races or propositions are scheduled.
The resolution (Resolution 2025-04) directs the recorder to post notice on a statewide electronic voter-information website for 15 consecutive days, publish notice at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation within the town boundaries, and submit a copy of the resolution to the county clerk and the Utah lieutenant governor's office. The resolution states it becomes effective upon passage.
Roll call votes were recorded as: Matt Draper, aye; Spencer Proctor, aye; Miff Bishop, aye; Richard Pine, aye; and the presiding mayor (identified in the meeting as "Mayor Proctor") voted aye. The resolution was adopted on Oct. 1, 2025.
Board members then signed the resolution as directed and moved on to other agenda items.
