Utah Proposition 4 was a ballot measure narrowly approved as part of the 2018 Utah elections. The proposition created an independent redistricting commission in the state, a measure to avoid gerrymandering.[1]
In 2020, the Utah legislature passed Senate Bill 200[2] which compromised positions between Better Boundaries Utah (the sponsor of the proposition) and the Utah legislature.[3][4]

The proposal was approved narrowly, with 50.34% of the vote. The closeness of the result was hypothesized to be due to Republicans, the dominant party in Utah, voting against the proposition to maintain their total control over redistricting.[6]
