Better Utah Institute Congressional Maps

2025 Utah Redistricting

How Fair Are The Proposed Voting Maps?

Now that Utah lawmakers have voted on which map to send to the court, and the plaintiffs have submitted their map, there are three maps for the judge to choose from: Option C, Plaintiff Map 1, and Plaintiff Map 2—are now on the table.

Each map reflects different priorities when it comes to fairness, competitiveness, and how communities are grouped.

To help Utahns understand the real impacts of these proposals, the Better Utah Institute created an easy to understand analysis of these maps.
