The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Utah will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the four U.S. representatives from the State of Utah, one from all four of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections.

Background

The Utah Supreme Court ruled in July 2024 that the state legislature had overstepped their constitutional authority when it repealed Proposition 4 in 2020 (and subsequently drew congressional districts that heavily favored Republican candidates). [1] The case was remanded to the district court to determine a final remedy. The decision was decided on August 25, 2025, ordering the new Utah congressional map be redrawn within 30 days. [2] [3] [4]

District 1

The 1st district is located in northern Utah, including the cities of Ogden, Logan, Park City, Layton, Clearfield, and the northern half of the Great Salt Lake. The incumbent is Republican Blake Moore, who was re-elected with 63.1% of the vote in 2024. [5]

Notes

  1. 1 2 Rating is based on the map proposal C, passed by the legislature but awaiting judicial confirmation
  2. Although McAdams has filed to run in the 4th district, which he had previously represented, the proposed map C passed by the Utah Legislature would place him in the 3rd district.
