Background
Beginning with the 2002 regular general election, Utah law required school Districts with student populations of more than 24,000 students to increase from five to seven board members.

Jordan School District added Precinct 6 that covers Midvale and a portion of Sandy, and Precinct 7 that covers Bluffdale, Herriman, Riverton and part of South Jordan and West Jordan.
