- District Court Judge Dianna Gibson declared Utah’s 2021 congressional map unlawful and ordered the Republican-controlled legislature to redraw it.
- Gibson found lawmakers had weakened voter-approved protections against gerrymandering and replaced the independent commission with an advisory board.
- The current map divides Salt Lake County among all four congressional districts, which have since elected Republicans by wide margins.
- The ruling gives lawmakers a September 24 deadline; it is initially unclear whether or when an appeal is expected.
