Central Committee adopts special rule for mid-term vacancies, elects Skylar Beltran
Summary
Delegates approved a special rule of order narrowing nomination options for mid-term vacancies and then elected Skylar Beltran to fill a county commission mid-term vacancy.
The Central Committee adopted Special Rule of Order #1, a restriction that narrows nominations for mid-term county elected-office vacancies that occur after filing deadlines. The rule prioritizes the Republican primary winner, then convention nominees, and if neither is available allows any Utah County Republican to be nominated. The special rule was adopted on a two-thirds vote as recorded in the meeting minutes.
Following adoption of the special rule, nominations were opened for a mid-term vacancy on the County Commission. Skylar Beltran was nominated; the committee closed nominations because there were no further legal nominations and elected Beltran to the post.
Provenance: Special Rule of Order #1 and the subsequent nomination and election are recorded in the meeting minutes.
