2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Utah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Utah will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the four U.S. representatives from the State of Utah, one from all four of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections will take place on June 23, 2026.[1]

Background
The Utah Supreme Court ruled in July 2024 that the state legislature had overstepped their constitutional authority when it repealed Proposition 4 in 2020 (and subsequently drew congressional districts that heavily favored Republican candidates).[3] The case was remanded to the district court to determine a final remedy. The decision was decided on August 25, 2025, ordering the new Utah congressional map be redrawn within 30 days.[4][5][6]
Utah's state legislature passed a new map on October 11, 2025, which created two competitive seats leaning slightly Republican. District judge Dianna Gibson enjoined the map passed by legislature on November 10, and selected a map drawn by civil groups as the final map, which contained a solidly Democratic seat centered around Salt Lake City.[7]

The new district is based in and encompasses the majority of Salt Lake County, including the cities of Salt Lake City, West Valley, Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights, and Murray. Due to redistricting, this is a district with no incumbent. In the 2024 presidential election, Democrat Kamala Harris won the district by a 24-point margin.[8]
