Across Utah's 2nd Congressional District, the candidates for the Republican primary are racing to earn support and get voters to fill out and turn in their ballots.

Becky Edwards, Celeste Maloy and Bruce Hough are all vying for the nomination to replace resigning Congressman Chris Stewart, in a district that stretches from Davis County to Washington County.

"The most important poll number right here is 47%. These are registered Republicans who say they are going to participate in the primary they don’t know who they’re going to vote for. That is a big number right now," Jason Perry, the director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics, told FOX 13 News."The Deseret News poll is 14 days old. It was conducted before ballots went out. It’s essentially a name ID exercise. It’s also modeling for an 81% turnout.

"We're confident in our ability to connect with the undecided voters in the 2nd District. Our dedicated team of hundreds of volunteers plays a pivotal role in spreading our message to communities across the district. Becky is the only candidate on the ballot with 10 years of experience working on behalf of Utah families and businesses. People believe in our positive message, and they want to see a champion for Utah values in Congress.

"The reason we’re doing that obviously is the day before is a federal holiday, Labor Day," said Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, the state's top elections officer.
