A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In Utah, state law allows parties to decide who may vote in their primaries.[1] Check Vote.Utah.gov for details about upcoming elections.

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Utah in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 2, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirteen candidates filed to run for Utah’s four U.S. House districts, including four Democrats and nine Republicans. That’s 3.25 candidates per district, less than the 3.75 candidates per district in 2020 and more than the 2.5 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Utah was apportioned four districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. All four incumbents filed to run for re-election, meaning there were no open seats this year. That was one fewer than in 2020, when there was one open seat.
All four incumbents faced primary challengers, the highest number since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data. Utah’s four incumbent congressmen were Republicans, meaning there were four contested Republican primaries this year. There were no contested Democratic primaries. The four contested primaries this year were the most since 2014, when six primaries were contested.
Four candidates, including incumbent Rep. Blake Moore (R), filed to run in the 1st district. That was the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all four districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.
