Title 21, Chapter 2, Section 191
( 21-2-191)
As provided in this article, a presidential preference primary shall
be held in 1992 and every four years thereafter for each political
party or body which has cast for its candidates for President and
Vice President in the last presidential election more than 20
percent of the total vote cast for President and Vice President in
the state, so that the electors may express their preference for one
person to be the candidate for nomination by such person's party or
body for the office of President of the United States; provided,
however, that no elector shall vote in the primary of more than one
political party or body in the same presidential preference primary.
Such primary shall be held on March 3, 1992, and on the first
Tuesday in March every four years thereafter. A state political
party or body may by rule choose to elect any portion of its
delegates to that party's or body's presidential nominating
convention in the primary; and, if a state political party or body
chooses to elect any portion of its delegates, such state political
party or body shall establish the qualifying period for those
candidates for delegate and delegate alternate positions which are
to be elected in the primary and for any party officials to be
elected in the primary and shall also establish the date on which
state and county party executive committees shall certify to the
Secretary of State or the superintendent, as the case may be, the
names of any such candidates who are to be elected in the primary;
provided, however, that such dates shall not be later than December
31 in the year preceding the year in which the presidential
preference primary is to be held. |
