The nonpartisan legislative redistricting committee has launched a website where citizens can stay up to date on the constitution-mandated process and participate as the committee reviews and acts on the drawing of the state’s districts. The website is redistricting.utah.gov.
Every 10 years, the Constitution requires the Legislature to redraw new district boundaries based on the most recent population data from the U.S. Census Bureau. This data determines the ideal size of Utah’s Congressional, State Senate, State House of Representatives and State Board of Education districts.
Data from the Census Bureau was delayed due to the COVID pandemic. The Legislative Redistricting Committee expects to receive the data from the Census Bureau by early September. Once the data is available, the Legislative Redistricting Committee will hold town halls across the state to gather input.
