A Utah judge ruled on Aug. 25 that the state Legislature must redraw its congressional maps, saying that the repeal of a 2018 voter-approved ballot initiative was unconstitutional.

The ruling stemmed from a 2022 lawsuit filed by voting rights groups seeking to challenge the Utah Legislature’s repeal of the voter-approved ballot initiative known as Proposition 4.
