Redistricting
2025-2026
The Utah Supreme Court ruled on July 11, 2024, that the legislature's override of Proposition 4 likely violated voters' constitutional right to participate in government.[9] The Court returned the case to Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson to determine whether the legislature's changes to the ballot initiative were "narrowly tailored to advance a compelling government interest."[10] On August 25, 2025, Gibson struck down the state's congressional map, writing, "The nature of the violation lies in the Legislature’s refusal to respect the people’s exercise of their constitutional lawmaking power and to honor the people’s right to reform their government."[11] On September 15, 2025, the Utah Supreme Court rejected the legislature's appeal to pause the district court ruling, allowing plans to redraw the map by November 10, 2025, to proceed.[12]
On October 6, 2025, the Utah Legislature approved a new congressional map to submit to the judge for consideration that made two districts more competitive while leaving all four districts leaning Republican.[13] The same day, the plaintiffs in the case against the original map that was struck down also submitted two maps to the judge for consideration.[14] On November 10, 2025, the judge ruled that a plaintiff-drawn map shifting one district Democratic would be used in the 2026 elections.[15]
On November 25, 2025, Utah legislative leaders announced plans to appeal the ruling and hold a special session on December 9, 2025. Utah News Dispatch's Katie McKellar wrote, "During the special session, lawmakers may aweigh delaying candidate filing deadlines in order to allow more time for a different congressional map to be enacted for the 2026 election."[16]
2020-2021
Utah enacted new congressional districts on November 12, 2021, after Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed a map proposal approved by the House and the Senate. The enacted map was drafted by the legislature and differed from a proposal the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission released on November 5, 2021.[17] The congressional map passed the Utah House 50-22 on November 9, 2021, with five Republicans and all Democratic House members voting against it. The Senate approved the map on November 10, 2021, in a 21-7 vote. Before signing the congressional map, Cox said he would not veto any maps approved by the legislature. He said, "The Legislature is fully within their rights to actually make those decisions and decide where they want to draw those lines."[18] This map took effect for Utah's 2022 congressional elections.
How does redistricting in Utah work? In Utah, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are ultimately enacted by the state legislature. An advisory commission submits proposed maps to the legislature for its approval. This commission comprises the following seven members:[19]
- One appointed by the governor, to serve as the chair of the commission;
- One appointed by the president of the Utah Senate;
- One appointed by the speaker of the Utah House of Representatives;
- One appointed by the leader of the largest minority political party in the Utah Senate;
- One appointed by the leader of the largest minority political party in the Utah House of Representatives;
- One appointed jointly by the leadership of the majority political party in the Utah Senate, president of the Utah Senate, and the leadership of the same political party in the Utah House of Representatives; and
- One appointed jointly by the leadership of the largest minority political party in the Utah Senate, and the leadership of the same political party in the Utah House of Representatives, including the speaker of the House, if the speaker is a member of the same political party.
The commission is required to select between one and three plans, with the affirmative votes of at least five members, to submit to the chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court. The chief justice is responsible for determining if the commission's plans meet redistricting standards. The commission then forwards the plans to the state legislature, which may decide whether to accept, amend, or reject the plans.
