This year's filing deadline for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Utah was March 13, 2026.
These elections are the first to take place since Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson struck down the congressional map the Utah Legislature adopted in 2021 in League of Women Voters v. Utah State Legislature. Gibson also ordered the plaintiffs in the case and the Legislature to submit new maps for the 2026 election cycle to her for consideration.
Gibson rejected the Legislature's proposed congressional map, which would have maintained four Republican-leaning districts, in favor of a proposal from the plaintiffs that added one Democratic-leaning district.
