TIMELINE FOR REDISTRICTING AFTER THE CENSUS

RESPECT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE

Ronald Reagan called gerrymandering “a national disgrace.” A majority of Utahns agreed with him and passed Proposition 4 into law. This new law fixed our broken redistricting system by creating an independent redistricting commission and common-sense rules to govern the process. All Utahns benefit when voters’ voices are heard.
