Manning Curtis Successfully Represents Independent Gubernatorial Candidate Farley Anderson in a landmark e-signature case before the Utah Supreme Court.

 

In a June 22, 2010 decision, believed to be the first ruling on this issue in the nation, the Utah Supreme Court ruled that the Lieutenant Governor could not exclude electronic ballot access signatures submitted to him by independent Gubernatorial Candidate Farley Anderson.  Manning Curtis Bradshaw & Bednar successfully argued that Utah statutes and common law require the Lieutenant Governor to accept any mark, electronic or holographic, made by a citizen with the intent to make it his signature.  This decision by the Utah Supreme Court may pave the way for other courts to require acceptance of electronic signatures in connection with candidate petitions and petitions for initiatives or referenda, thereby expanding citizen participation in the electoral process.
