  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.
  
  In 2020, the Utah legislature passed Senate Bill 200 which compromised positions between Better Boundaries Utah (the sponsor of the proposition) and the Utah legislature.
  
  ## Results
  
  Proposal 2 :
  
  | Choice | Votes | % |
  | - | - | - |
  | Yes | 512,218 | 50.34 |
  | No | 505,274 | 49.66 |
  | Valid votes | 1,017,492 | 93.95 |
  | Total votes | 1,082,972 | 100.00 |
  | Registered voters/turnout | 1,433,498 | 75.55 |
  
  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.
