Terrible map. It splits Salt Lake valley into four separate districts, which is the opposite of keeping communities together. Gerrymandered to deprive urban voters of representation!

This is very clear gerrymandering. Violates Prop 4.

This is extremely against the spirit of Proposition 4.

This map is terrible. It splits Salt Lake valley into four separate districts, which is the opposite of keeping communities together.

Again, I do not like how the city is split up in this map, it splits up Salt Lake and also splits up cities within Salt Lake. Dislike.

Blatant gerrymandering. As a resident in Holladay, my neighbors and I would be in the same District as Blanding and Moab. This is ridiculous and shameful.

Strongly oppose

Splitting up Salt Lake Country is blatantly partisan, and does not represent that community

This will not represent like minded people. Keep SLC & SL County in District 2

Do not use this map. This map splits SLC and does not follow the standards of Proposition 4. Use the Escamilla-Owens-Map. This E-O map gives a Rep for the South, North and two Reps to cover the population centers.

This is a horrible map. It splits Salt Lake County into districts that don't align with what voters are asking for. This is a ridiculous map.

Terrible map. Splitting Salt Lake county is completely antithetical to the idea of fair maps and keeping communities together.

This map is obviously gerrymandered to divide my community (SLC) and minimize our representation.

This map perpetuates gerrymandering, cutting municipalities with common interests up while combining disparate areas of Utah together into a district.

This map has the same problem as our current unconditional one! It splits Salt Lake City across the 4 districts. We want fair representation!

Awkwardly divides Davis county and pairs it with Box Elder and Tooele, diluting votes across communities with nothing in common, in a clear effort to cut up Salt Lake City. Bad map all the way around.

This is a horrible map! It splits SL County into 4 congressional districts in a blatant attempt to dilute the voice of that county. This map would have me voting with people from Monticello. The needs of SE rural Utah are very different than the needs of suburban UT. Please respect the will of the voters and stop proposing obvious republican gerrymanding.

The will of the people want a non-gerrymandered map. I do not support this map because of its gerrymandering which will aid only the GOP, based on the scores for compactness, competitive, and proportional elements.

This map divides Salt Lake County into all four districts. This is ridiculous and entirely violates the principles of Proposition 4. The idea is to create new boundaries, not just slightly change the boundaries that were already ruled illegal.

No. Maps must be drawn by nonpartisan, independent groups. That's the will of the people.

Strongly opposed to this map and it is directly counter to the guidelines established in Prop 4. Any map that splits SL county once should be immediately discarded.

It is a scam of Herculean proportions that the Beltway states on the East Coast are known as the gerrymandering capitals of our country when we have this kind of nonsense right here in the Valley. Dividing SLC like this is nothing short of legislative malpractice and pathetically transparent. SLC is the only part of this state that doesn't actively yearn for the 1950s and should, at minimum, have the right to represent itself in our state House without being chopped up and taken to market like an old pork carcass -- but that would require acknowledging that there are, in fact, people in this state that vote to the left of George Wallace, and I'm not holding my breath for that to happen. A stain on the very concept of voting integrity. Shambolic. 0/10. Please give us something that even halfway resembles a fair map.

This map splits up salt lake county diluting our voice. This is gerrymandering

This map does a terrible job of representing the people. The districting areas here are really confusing to navigate, do a poor job of keeping the districts the same size, and are clearly breaking the rules of prop 4. Move on from this map, there are others that do a much better job of representing the people of Utah.

As a West Jordan resident, this map splits my community. My neighbors and I deserve to have our voices heard together, not split between different districts.

Blatant gerrymandering to ensure that all representatives are mormon in a state with a rapidly declining population of mormons. Splitting the non-mormon population into 4 is a violation of Prop 4.

Splitting Salt Lake County does not provide adequate representation for the people of Salt Lake County!

This map is absolutely terrible. It has the same unconstitutional flaw that the current one does and severely gerrymanders salt lake, cutting it into four pieces contrary to the map guidelines

This map is a clear example of gerrymandering. By carving up Salt Lake, it prevents residents from having representation that reflects their shared community interests. Splitting the city dilutes the voices of its people and makes it harder for any representative to truly meet the needs of those living there.

This map perpetuates the gerrymandering of the 2010 and 2020 redistricting maps. It is contrary to the goals of Proposition 4 and does not allow fair representation of the residents in the state who live in Salt Lake County, the largest county in the state.

This map fails to keep Salt Lake County, the most populous county in our state with 34% of the entire state population as a single community of interest. This map goes against allowing a single group to choose its own representative. The power of the citizenry is diluted with any division of this county.

The map is in clear violation of the statutes put forth in Prop 4. This map will not allow an elected representative to truly represent the needs of the people contained within the districts as their needs are dissimilar.

This map is partisan and doesn't represent Utah voters. It splits Salt Lake County into 4 different districts. There are 4 steps to create fair maps, and this map does not follow any of these steps. Step 1: Districts should have a regular shape, avoiding "shoestring" or "earmuff" formations designed to capture or exclude specific voters. Step 2: All parts of a district must be geographically connected. Step 3: Where possible, districts should respect pre-existing municipal, county, or other political boundaries. Step 4: Districts should be drawn to keep communities with shared interests together.

This map clearly separates neighborhoods and combines voters of dissimilar needs. This will make it so a representative cannot truly represent his entire constituency as the needs of people in the Salt Lake City suburbs, and metro do not align with the needs or rural central Utah, or southeastern Utah.

This map clearly violates all statutes of Prop 4. It is laughably gerrymandered with severe and unnecessary splitting of Salt Lake City. It creates areas that are not connected by road or communities of interest, subdivides urban areas to incorporate massive swaths of rural areas - thus splitting interest - and faces prominent shoestringing with the shape of a pinwheel. With over 30% of Utah voters voting for non-republican parties, any map in which all 4 districts would be republican is maximizing the quantity of un-represented citizens of the state.

This map is gerrymandered. This map splits Salt Lake County into 4 different districts. This map is partisan and doesn't represent Utah voters. There are 4 steps to create fair maps, and this map includes 0 of the 4 steps. Step 1: Districts should have a regular shape, avoiding "shoestring" or "earmuff" formations designed to capture or exclude specific voters. Step 2: All parts of a district must be geographically connected. Step 3: Where possible, districts should respect pre-existing municipal, county, or other political boundaries. Step 4: Districts should be drawn to keep communities with shared interests together.

This looks just like the old map that We the People voted to replace. The change is small and insignificant. Do NOT accept this map.

Might be the worst map I've seen yet.

This Map is terrible!!!! Same underlying issues as the current district map.

ERRR, try again. What a terrible map! Splitting Salt Lake County into FOUR districts! Yes, that seems like equal representation!! No, but really, this map sucks

Can someone explain to me how this differs from the maps we currently have? Seems identical to me. More partisan gerrymandering.

This is a Terrible map. This map is inconsistent with the intent of Prop 4. It divides the largest population center and merges it with rural areas, while also fragmenting counties and cities, which undermines fair representation.

This map locks out any opposition voices.

This map is even worse. Salt Lake County, the largest population center in the state, is being divided into four pieces to deliberately dilute voters’ influence. While it claims that Utah is a mix of urban and rural communities, will this map truly give Salt Lake County residents a fair voice?

This map is terrible. It seems deliberately designed to split up the county in a way that favors a single party. This can’t possibly be in compliance with prop 4.

Any map that puts St. George with any part of Salt Lake City is a gerrymander. You can't even get to Salt Lake City without going through Provo. I don't support having Provo with St. George either, but that's a good way to know if the map has been gerrymandered.

Too much gerrymandering. Does not follow Prop 4

This map is a clear example of gerrymandering. By splitting the Salt Lake Valley, it divides a cohesive community into multiple districts in a way that appears more political than representative. The Salt Lake Valley shares common economic, cultural, and infrastructure concerns, and breaking it apart undermines the ability of residents to have a unified voice on issues that directly affect them. Rather than keeping communities of interest together, this map fractures them, weakening their political influence and making it harder for elected officials to address their shared needs effectively. It prioritizes partisan advantage over fair and meaningful representation.

A 4-way split of Salt Lake County is in full contradiction of the requirements directed by Proposition 4. Not a viable map by any possible measure.

Maps like this are the VERY reason why Prop 4 was passed into law. This is more 'flood-the-zone' non-serious, gerrymandered B.S. maps that show how TERRIFIED the GOP donor class is of the citizens of SL County and SLC. Throw this map in the dumpster!

I do not like the 4-way division of SL County in this map. SL County would be better served as a district of its own. Being the primary metro hub of the state it has its own unique issues, completely different than rural areas of the state. I would prefer to see a map with as much of SL County together as possible, rather than splitting the County into multiple districts.

So many cities with an East/Divide between Districts 3 and 4 all the down the entire length of Utah County! And a 4-way split of Salt Lake County! This map does not adhere to Prop 4 requirements at all.

This map needlessly divides the Salt Lake County Urban area into 4 districts. This is exactly what prop 4 was meant to prevent. It is clearly an attempt to dilute the urban instrests with those of the rural community and is unacceptable.

This map does an incredibly poor job in the following areas: Giving political balance, competitiveness for political candidates, territory lines break up populations base solely on number of people while splitting up counties and cities. If you live in Utah county and work in Salt Lake county, you would be driving through all 4 district every day. This gives so much power to political candidates (like we see today) and very little power to the people living in those districts- unless you completely agree with that representative. That is a dangerous way to spilt up our state.

It splits up Salt Lake County once again, in another attempt to keep a non-competitive district from forming. Only maps where Salt Lake County remains largely intact should be considered.

This splits up too much of the urban area and isolates the Salt Lake Valley's east side with rural areas that have dissimilar interests.

Yet ANOTHER gerrymandered map that purposefully dilutes the SLC/ SL County voter base into a rural area. The ONLY map that achieves any level of fairness per Prop 4 is the Escamilla - Owens maps. All of the these other maps are complete waste of everyones time.

This map is terrible. It splits Salt Lake County into 4 districts. Not good.

Salt Lake City is a distinct population and should largely be left as a separate district. This map tears it apart. I make this statement as a 38 year resident and businessman.

An obvious attempt to gerrymander and rig a map to split communities and favor one party. Are you even trying? Throw this monstrosity out and do your job.

This map is just another attempt to crack a blue district and dilute the voice of democratic voters in Salt Lake County. I am very opposed to this one.

This is the most egregious map of those I've viewed thus far. Not satisfied to split Salt Lake City two ways like other maps I've seen it instead insists on a four way division lest the voice of Salt Lake ever be heard

This map is not good at all, and clearly violates the requirements of the redistricting standards. It does not follow natural/geographic boundaries, it splits salt lake county in four and does nothing to preserve communities of interest, and the districts are not compact. Why are populated cities expected to share a representative with rural areas? They have vastly differing priorities, requirements, and needs.

This map cuts my city apart. It puts me in a district with people who don't have the same interests as me. It does not give those of us in the city a decent chance to be represented. Absolutely horrible map.

This UI is a bit strange for posting comments. I missed the like/dislike feature at the top for the first three maps I reviewed. I dislike this map. I dislike this map a lot. It seems to me that voting districts shouldn't be about organizing cities and communities who are dealing with relatively similar issues. What does SLC and its tech coridor have to do with military bases or agriculture? having lived all around the state, I can say that these regions all deal with very different issues and I really displike splitting up major population centers. Seems to me that SLC should kind of be it's own thing. Utah County it's own. Northern Utah it's own. And Southern UTah it's own. It's not perfect, but I don't like SLC deciding the issues that I'm facing in more rural northern utah.

This map cuts up communities, including mine, in a non-logical and gerrymandered fashion. It does not give urban areas a united voice and true representation. My representative in district 4 could never represent my interests in Canyon Rim while also trying to represent most of eastern rural Utah. With this map I have neighbors literally within a mile of me that are placed into another districts, for no logical reason. Additionally, there are additional neighbors within several miles of me that are in other districts. We all have the same interests and concerns and should be represented collectively. This map splits up communities in odd ways that should instead be grouped together to ensure proper representation of those areas of Utah. It seems to split up neighborhoods to the point that two neighbors could be in completely different districts. Also, the needs and concerns of the rural corners of Utah are going to be different than the more population dense urban centers and both need to be represented.

Do not divide Salt Lake into four different sections.

Another unacceptable gerrymandered map.

Groups SLC with southern Utah, very different communities.

This map does not honor natural communities. It splits my area, where I have a communal affinity with Riverton, South Jordan, Murray, Midvale, and Sandy. These are places where I shop, walk, and go out for entertainment. I know these people. This map would require a congressperson to try to listen to and meet the needs of distant communities with very different sets of concerns and priorities. I see this as another version of the current maps, which means that where I used to walk my dog on 900 East, I would also cross into three different congressional districts. Don't do this again.

They argue there's no way of drawing maps without splitting up Salt Lake City. That's false. Districts should be drawn where people's everyday lives and concerns have more in common with others in their district. Salt Lake County has too high a population to be its own district. Fine. But it doesn't need to be and SHOULD NOT BE divided into four parts. That is partisan plain and simple.

Absolutely not! Very odd split of districts, especially splitting Salt Lake County into 4 districts.

This map is textbook gerrymandering. It splits Utah's largest urban center so the people who live there will not have a say in how they are governed.

Textbook gerrymander, this maps splits urban neighborhoods apart and dilutes them into massive parts of rural Utah giving unequal representation to Utahans living in more densely populated Utah.

On 3300 South and 700 East, you can stand on a corner in Salt Lake City where three congressional districts meet. This clearly splits the district in four parts that violates four of the riles in the law for drawing districts. It does not keep counties whole, form a contiguous district for Salt Lake County, use natural boundaries or keep cikties while.

This map exacerbates the issues with the current maps. We shouldn't be splitting up Salt Lake and Utah County arbitrarily like this, and this seems designed in a way to purposely dilute voter voices by dividing up communities with common needs and interests and putting them with drastically different communities.

I'm not sure how this map is less gerrymandered than the current map

This map breaks up SLC too much and has the same problems as the current map.

Splitting SL County into four districts is excessive - due to the population I understand why it needs to be split but in no more than two districts.

Splitting Salt Lake County 4 ways Violates keeping counties whole twice as much than what's required due to population. Also Rural Utah has asked to stop being grouped in with the urban areas because they do not get proper representation. This also violates rule 4 of prop 4 about compact districts. these are both sprawling an irregularly shaped. it's basically the pinwheel which we declared gerrymandered.

Unnecessarily splits Salt Lake County into four districts and has an odd line along the wasatch front, splitting communities between districts. East and west in Davis, Weber, Utah counties have more common interests than this map provides.

Splitting SLCO four ways is a non-starter. The county only needs to be split one time. This does not abide to Prop 4 by keeping municipalities intact.

This map literally is a repeat of the current illegal map. STOP CARVING UP SALT LAKE COUNTY

This map should be a non-starter. It breaks up Salt Lake county into four slices and looks suspiciously similar to the ones that were thrown out by the courts.

Same ole gerrymandering. Try to be honest.

This map still gerrymanders SLC and doesn't represent them.

This map splits Salt Lake into four different boundaries and combines them with other counties that don't represent Salt Lake.

This map is terrible. Instead of following clear city and county boundaries, it actively splits the Salt Lake Valley into 4 different districts. That is not only unfair to the residents of Salt Lake City, but also unfair to the other citizens in the outlying areas who will likely continue to be under represented.

Another silly and unnecessary split up of urban areas that will make it untenable for representatives to accurately represent their constituents. This makes no sense.

this map is nothing more than wanting a novelty, having a map that splits the states into 4 pizza slices, again, along the freeways, is nonsensical.

This map is awful. In this scenario, I kid you not, I would live in District 4, but work (part-time), volunteer, shop, and recreate in District 2, and work full-time in District 1. I could go even further to say that my husband regularly recreates in District 3, meaning that we are nearly spot on the border of 4 boundaries, not having anything remotely close to fair representation, or any kind of full community represented.

Once again, Salt Lake County and other urban areas should be kept to one district as much as possible--given that urban and rural is a prominent ideological divide in today's politics. I hesitate to think that a representative could advocate for my needs, someone who needs the great salt lake to stay filled for clean air, while impartially advocating for the needs of rural, farming Utah (who use the water for their livelihood but are also a significant part of water consumption). This is an example of how one issue is divided along urban/rural divides and urban constituents should trust that they have at least one representative who is working for them on the national level.

Laughably bad. A horrible long split between 3 and 4, and 1 and 2, cutting like communities in half roughly along i 15 for no good reason, and cutting the salt lake urban area in four and have 2 seperate spots where 3 districts meet in salt lake county. Do you think we're oblivious? this is a bald-faced gerrymander map, put forth by senator. Shameful.

Exhibit A of how a politician says he's a representative of the people and then tries to sell us this bologna! It's close to what the legislature created originally and why the people of the state and the judicial system said NO!

I don't like how SL County is split up between 4 districts.

This is the exact reason why we are redrawing maps. This is awful

As a Resident of Salt Lake County, I want a representative that lives in my area, understands my life, and my issues. Just as I don't understand the issues of Rural Utah, they don't understand the issues of the Metro, the result of this map is worse representation for everyone, and I suspect the reason is to prohibit Salt Lake County from having a voice.

This split is the definition of a gerrymander--the very reason why we're going through this process right now. Have you no shame, sir?

You have gerrymandered Salt Lake so that now I'm with District 1. This is still trying to screw Democrats, and it is why I left the Republican Party. You are dishonest and covering for fascists.
