Overview

• The Legislative Redistricting Committee advanced Map C and lawmakers passed it in a special session, with leaders asserting it meets Proposition 4 criteria such as zero population deviation and limited county and city splits.
• Gov. Spencer Cox signed S.B. 1011, which adds a requirement that districts reflect recent statewide partisan vote shares, drawing objections from Proposition 4 backers and voting-rights groups.
• Advocacy organizations including Better Boundaries criticized both Map C and S.B. 1011 and signaled continued legal challenges as the court evaluates the new plan.
• The map consolidates Democratic-leaning Salt Lake City into a single district paired with rural areas; analysts say two districts become slightly more competitive, though all four still lean Republican.
• Judge Dianna Gibson will review the legislature’s map and alternative proposals, with potential for further court action if the plan is rejected before the Nov. 10 deadline.
