Party files initiative and referendum challenging voter-approved anti-gerrymandering measures
1.
The Utah Republican Party has initiated efforts to repeal the state's redistricting law, Proposition 4, and eliminate a recently approved congressional map. On Tuesday, State GOP Chair Rob Axson filed both an initiative application and a referendum petition with the Lieutenant Governor's Office. The initiative aims to remove Proposition 4's language from Utah code, while the referendum seeks to overturn the Legislature's newly submitted congressional map. Signatures must be gathered by mid-November for both measures to advance.
