Utah enters the redistricting battle for 2026, but not by choice. Here’s what to know
- Utah is required to redraw its congressional maps for the 2026 midterm elections due to a court order from Judge Dianna Gibson.
- Judge Dianna Gibson ruled that Utah's previous map was unlawful for circumventing an independent redistricting commission to avoid gerrymandering.
- Lawmakers must adopt a new map by September 24 to meet voter-approved standards according to Gibson's order.
- The U.S. Supreme Court is unlikely to intervene, and the state Supreme Court may be reluctant to appeal after requesting Gibson's decision.
