What to know about Utah’s 2026 elections

Key takeaways

  • Election Day is Nov. 3, 2026
  • All four U.S. House districts are up for election
  • Each House race is decided within its district
  • Republican presidential nominees carried Utah in 2016, 2020 and 2024

U.S. House races

Utah’s four congressional districts will elect U.S. House members on Nov. 3, 2026. House seats are contested every two years, so voters in each district will choose a representative for the next Congress.

District 1 is represented by Republican Blake Moore. District 2 is represented by Republican Celeste Maloy. District 3 is represented by Republican Mike Kennedy. District 4 is represented by Republican Burgess Owens.

Together, the four district contests will determine Utah’s U.S. House delegation. Each voter participates in the contest for the district where that voter lives. Primary contests are also part of the 2026 House election cycle.

Current statewide officeholders

Utah’s U.S. senators are Republicans John Curtis and Mike Lee. The state’s executive officeholders are Gov. Spencer Cox, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson and Attorney General Derek Brown, all Republicans.

Those statewide and Senate offices are separate from Utah’s four congressional districts. The House contests are decided district by district rather than through one statewide House vote.

Presidential voting history

Recent presidential results provide historical context but do not determine the outcome of the 2026 congressional elections. Republican presidential nominees received 45.5% of Utah’s vote in 2016, 58.1% in 2020 and 59.4% in 2024. Democratic nominees received 27.5% in 2016, 37.6% in 2020 and 37.8% in 2024.

In 2024, Donald Trump received 59.4% in Utah and Kamala Harris received 37.8%. Trump’s margin was 21.6 percentage points, the 13th-largest among the 50 states. Utah had six electoral votes in that election.
