Utah's congressional districts

Current districts and representatives

Utah’s congressional districts are the subject of a court challenge and an example of partisan gerrymandering. In this instance, Republican lawmakers drew the boundaries to dilute the Democratic vote by splitting Democratic-leaning Salt Lake County across all four congressional districts. The Utah Supreme Court ruled in July, 2024, that the legislature did not have the constitutional right to override 2018 Utah Proposition 4, which required districts be drawn by an independent redistricting commission. The lawsuit challenging the map was then sent to a lower court for further consideration, where a district judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. In accordance with the ruling, the state legislature must redraw Utah's congressional districts before the 2026 House Elections. On November 10, 2025, a district judge rejected a Republican-drawn map, instead selecting 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.

The delegation has a total of four members, all Republicans.

Redistricting ballot measures

• 2018 Utah Proposition 4, a measure that would require the redistricting process to be done by a bipartisan commission. This motion was passed by a margin of 0.68% however the Commission’s power "was stripped a year and a half later by the Legislature," as described by Sam Metz of the Associated Press.
• 2008 Utah Legislative Redistricting Requirement, Amendment D, a technical proposal that allowed the legislature to consider redistricting once census data was made public. Passed by a margin of 56.50%.

Obsolete districts

• Utah Territory's at-large congressional district
