Frequently Asked Questions
Proposition 4, known as the Better Boundaries initiative, was a citizen-led initiative passed in 2018 by over 512,000 Utah voters. It created a redistricting process with an independent advisory commission and binding standards for how maps are drawn. These rules focus on keeping communities together, increasing transparency, and preventing gerrymandering.
In 2020 lawmakers passed SB 200 and rewrote key parts of Proposition 4. This bill eliminated the requirement for lawmakers to publicly explain when they rejected commission maps, and made the standards optional instead of binding. SB 200 also rolled back public transparency measures, giving the Legislature more control and less accountability. In 2021 lawmakers used that power to bypass the commission’s maps and pass their own, without following the standards voters had approved. A group of Utah voters challenged those changes in court.
In 2024 the Utah Supreme Court ruled that Utahns have the constitutional right to change how their government works through citizen initiatives. The Court said lawmakers can change those laws only if they meet a very high constitutional standard. The justices also made clear that initiatives like Prop 4 can legally change the structure of government and must be respected under the Utah Constitution.
In 2025, the district court confirmed Prop 4 is valid law. It ordered new maps to be drawn using the standards voters approved. When the Legislature did not submit a map that met those standards, the court implemented one of the plaintiff’s proposed maps for the 2026 elections. The courts upheld both the public’s right to change the process and the need to follow the law.
After the court rulings, a group of political leaders filed a new initiative to repeal Prop 4. This effort would remove the reforms voters passed and give full redistricting control to the Legislature.
The Legislature has opposed Prop 4 from the beginning, and this initiative gives them a path to undo what voters approved and what the courts upheld. It shifts control away from the public and back to the politicians who were meant to be kept in check by the law.
No. The courts did not draw any maps. The Legislature is responsible for drawing maps, but it must do so according to the law. When the Legislature did not follow the standards in Prop 4, The court implemented a map submitted by the plaintiffs after determining it met the standards in Prop 4. The court’s role is to enforce the law—not replace the Legislature.
No. The only petition currently being circulated is the one to repeal Prop 4. If a signature gatherer says this petition does not repeal Prop 4 or does not change the maps, that is incorrect. False or misleading statements should be reported to the Lieutenant Governor’s Office at 801-538-1041, which oversees ballot initiatives.
