Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

Mayor and seven district council members from the Salt Lake City Council 'Contact Us' page and each district page (slc.gov/district1-7), retrieved 2026-10-22; Alejandro Puy is listed as Chair, Erika Carlsen Vice Chair, Dan Dugan C.R.A. Chair. Members' official emails are Cloudflare-obfuscated on the page and were not decoded. SLC has no other city-wide elected office. The City Recorder's Elections page: 'The next Salt Lake City Municipal Election will take place in 2027.' slc.gov robots.txt disallows /wp-admin/ only, crawl-delay 10 (honoured).
Candidates: the Utah Lieutenant Governor's '2026 Candidate Filings' page (vote.utah.gov, 'Last updated: 10/05/2026', updated weekly) lists every federal and state filing with a status; only rows with status 'Election Candidate' are recorded as running. Excluded: 'Out in Convention', 'Out in Primary', 'Withdrew', 'Disqualified' and 'Write-In' rows (e.g. CD-1: Nate Blouin, Michael Farrell, Liban Mohamed out in primary; Derek Kitchen, Kathleen Riebe, Adam Clayton withdrew; one write-in). Names are recorded in title case with the ballot form kept in ballotName. Each name links to a scanned declaration of candidacy that prints mailing address and phone; none were copied, and no standsFor could be taken from them (forms only). vote.utah.gov robots.txt allows all paths, crawl-delay 10 (honoured).
Salt Lake County Clerk (saltlakecounty.gov/clerk/elections/candidate-filing/) says statewide and federal candidates file with the Lt. Governor and county offices with the County Clerk; its page lists qualifications and links a 'County Candidates & Office Holders' list. County races are outside this record's scope and were not captured. saltlakecounty.gov has no robots.txt (404); its Disclaimer is an 'as is' warranty disclaimer with no reuse restriction.
Congressional map: Utah's 2026 elections use a new court-ordered map. Computed locally from Census TIGER/Line 2026 (tl_2026_49_cd120, 120th Congress) clipped to the Salt Lake City place polygon: new District 1 covers 288.2 km2 (100%); District 2 only touches the boundary. The sitting 119th Congress map (tl_2025_49_cd119): UT-2 191.3 km2 (66%), UT-1 96.9 km2 (34%); City Hall (coordinates 40.7608,-111.8863) is in UT-1. Both sitting members (Moore, Maloy) are running in 2026 for districts outside the city (new UT-2 and UT-3), so new District 1 is an open seat.
State legislative districts (TIGER 2026 sldu/sldl, unchanged maps): Senate 10 141.4 km2, 8 73.4, 9 57.5, 14 9.0, 13 6.9; House 21 95.9, 22 80.5, 25 43.2, 23 25.7, 26 21.1, 24 16.2, 32 4.3, 33 1.3. Census Geocoder places City Hall in State Senate District 9 and State House District 22. Legislators from the Legislature's own data file (le.utah.gov/data/legislators.json); its robots.txt disallows /templates/, /ASP/, /asp/, /includes/, /JSP/, /RSS/ and some /lfa/ paths only - none used. The file prints home addresses and personal phones; only @le.utah.gov emails kept.
Federal: senate.gov and the senators' own *.senate.gov sites answered Akamai 403 'Access Denied' even to robots.txt; congress.gov's robots.txt names anthropic-ai among disallowed agents, so it was not used. The two Senators therefore rest on the Lt. Governor's official 2022 and 2024 state canvasses (election results, not a current roster). The Representatives are from the House Clerk's MemberData.xml (published October 1, 2026). No federal photos linked.
Unopposed: none - every recorded 2026 contest (CD-1, SD-9, HD-22) has at least two 'Election Candidate' rows. No standsFor recorded: no candidate statement in the person's own words was found on an official list.
