Utah Prop 4 repeal effort stalls, 2026 ballot unlikely

Utah’s bid to repeal Prop 4 and allow lawmakers to redraw districts again failed after thousands withdrew signatures, leaving the measure short of the required 8% of registered voters in 26 of 29 Senate districts and thus off the 2026 ballot. The outcome comes amid debated tactics, ongoing legal questions, a court-imposed 2026 map, and potential moves—like a constitutional amendment—to tackle ballot-initiative repeal in the future.
