Baltimore, MD, September 22, 2026 —
Maryland voters will have the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment concerning congressional redistricting rules in the upcoming November election. The measure, identified as Question 3, will appear on ballots following a recent ruling by the Maryland Supreme Court.
This decision by the state’s high court overturns previous blockades placed on the amendment by lower courts. The legal battle leading to this point has focused on the state’s process for drawing the boundaries of its congressional districts.
If voters approve Question 3, it would grant the state the authority to implement changes to its existing congressional redistricting framework. The potential implications of such changes are significant, as they could alter the political map of Maryland’s congressional seats.
Specifically, the amendment could affect the boundaries of all of Maryland’s congressional districts. Among these, it holds the potential to impact the state’s sole district currently held by a Republican representative.
The exact details of the proposed redistricting changes are contingent upon the amendment’s passage and subsequent legislative or procedural actions. The date for the election has been confirmed as November, although specific dates for any further proceedings or potential implementation timelines were not provided in the information available.
