Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Utah in 2024. Information below was calculated on July 3, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
There were 89 state legislative seats up for election in Utah in 2024. Across those, 15 incumbents (four Democrats and 11 Republicans) did not run for re-election. That was more than the average number of retirements since Ballotpedia began tracking this data in 2010 (12.7). In 2022, nine incumbents did not run for re-election (three Democrats and six Republicans).
The total number of contested primaries (with more than one candidate) was 22 (two Democratic and 20 Republican). That was higher than the average number of contested primaries from 2010-2022 (15.57) and the second-highest year overall after 2022 (23). This means 12.4% of possible primaries in Utah in 2024 were contested, the second-highest figure since 2010. The year with the highest percentage of contested primaries was 2022, when 12.8% of possible primaries were contested.
Utah had a Republican trifecta, meaning the Republican party controlled the governorship and both state legislative chamebrs. As of July 3, 2024, there were 23 Republican trifectas, 17 Democratic trifectas, and 10 divided governments where neither party held trifecta control.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.

If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
