Lt. Gov Deidre Henderson said lawmakers now have until November 10 to redraw Utah’s congressional maps for the 2026 midterm elections after a judge invalidated the old boundaries—legislators must hold public input sessions and a special legislative session to meet Proposition 4 standards with a hearing set for October 23rd and 24th.
