UTAH LEGISLATURE ANNOUNCES SPECIAL SESSION TO ADDRESS ELECTION INTEGRITY AND REDISTRICTING CONCERNS

In a move to restore what lawmakers describe as stability and integrity to the state's election process, the Utah Legislature is set to convene in a special session, following a summons from Gov.

Cox. This gathering comes in the wake of court rulings that have cast a shadow of uncertainty over how elections are run, raising concerns around transparency and accountability among officials and voters alike.

The special session is designed to address the legislative aftermath of these rulings and to clarify measures enacted during the 2025 regular session.

The focus of the session, as stated by President J. Stuart Adams and Speaker Mike Schultz's, revolves around ensuring a "stable, transparent and accountable process for redistricting" that preserves the traditional balance of power and amplifies the will of Utah's electorate; they cite that a majority 71%, of Utahns polled support elected officials' involvement in the redistricting process.
