The Utah Republican Party conducted its 2026 State Nominating Convention at Utah Valley University's UCCU Center in Orem on April 25, 2025. The convention served as the primary venue for selecting party nominees for several key positions, including the U.S. House of Representatives, State Senate, State House of Representatives, and the State Board of Education.
During the event, delegates were tasked with voting on proposed changes to the party's structure, including constitution amendments, resolutions, and both bylaw and platform amendments. The convention proceedings included breakout sessions that began at 8:00 a.m., following the opening of credentialing and the Booth Expo at 7:00 a.m.
To ensure organized participation, delegates were required to present valid identification during credentialing at the north-east corner of the UCCU Center. The party also implemented a registration requirement for non-delegate guests, such as volunteers and family members, to assist with security and seating plans.
The convention featured various vendors and food options, including services from Taco Bell, Jamba Juice, and Chick-fil-A. In accordance with venue guidelines for the UCCU Center, attendees were subject to specific bag policies and restrictions on outside food and beverages.
