Utah's congressional districts
Utah is divided into 4 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2010 Census, Utah gained one House seat, and a new map was approved by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert.[2] [3]
The districts are currently represented in the 113th United States Congress by their elected congressmen.
