Utah Territory's at-large congressional district
Utah Territory's At-large congressional district is an obsolete congressional district that encompassed the area of the Utah Territory. After Utah's admission to the Union as the 45th state by act of Congress on January 4, 1896, this district was dissolved and replaced by Utah's At-large congressional district.
List of delegates
On September 9, 1850, an act of Congress gave Utah Territory the authority to elect a congressional delegate,[1] though the first delegate did not take his seat until 1851. The territorial delegates were elected to two-year terms. Delegates were allowed to serve on committees, debate, and submit legislation, but were not permitted to vote on bills.[2]

Notes
- ↑ George Q. Cannon won the election, but the governor appointed Allen G. Campbell. Cannon successfully contested the election, but the House decided not to seat Cannon on grounds that Cannon was a polygamist.[3][4]
- ↑ Elected to fill the vacancy created when the House refused to seat George Q. Cannon[5]
