Utah is divided into four congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2010 census, Utah gained one House seat, and a new map was approved by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert.
Legal proceedings Utah’s congressional districts were an example of partisan gerrymandering. Republican lawmakers drew the boundaries to dilute the Democratic vote by splitting Democratic-leaning Salt Lake County across all four congressional districts.
In 2018, voters narrowly approved Proposition 4, which required districts be drawn by an independent redistricting commission. The legislature attempted to override Proposition 4, however state courts ruled in League of Women Voters v. Utah State Legislature that it did not have the constitutional right to do so.. In accordance with the ruling, the state legislature had to redraw Utah's congressional districts before the 2026 House Elections. They attempted to do so, however their redrawn map was rejected on November 10, 2025 by a state judge rejected, who instead selected a map proposed by the League of Women Voters of Utah and Mormon Women for Ethical Government. The map places most of Salt Lake County into the same district, giving the 1st district a Democratic lean.
