What is the State Legislature?
Our state legislative branch consists of a Senate and a House of Representatives, just like in our federal government. These elected representatives are collectively known as our “state legislature.”
In Utah, each resident has one state representative and one state senator. However, our Senate and House districts are different from one another and don’t necessarily coincide with city or county boundaries. Utah is broken down into 29 Senate districts and 75 House districts.
Utah is called a supermajority state because both legislative bodies are comprised of a strong majority of Republicans.

Representatives are elected to 2-year terms.

State senators are elected to 4-year terms.

State legislators are part-time politicians who often have a full-time occupation on the side, such as being a doctor or a lawyer.
To become a state legislator, you need to be
- a citizen of the United States
- 25 years or older
- a resident of Utah for at least three consecutive years before filing for office
- a resident of the district for six months

How To Follow Along
The 2021 Legislative session is different than any held before. Eventually, you will be able to head up to the Capitol to observe and participate, but for the time being the Capitol is not open to the public due to safety concerns. Once the Capitol opens up to the public, there will still be many restrictions and limited seating due to COVID-19.
