Maryland voters will decide Question 3 on November 3, 2026, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would limit state compactness, contiguity, and boundary standards to legislative districts only, leaving congressional maps governed solely by federal law. Democratic lawmakers advanced the measure during an August 2026 special session to create flexibility for future congressional redistricting, following a 2022 court ruling that struck down a prior Democratic map. Lower courts initially blocked the question over procedural deadlines and single-subject concerns, but the Maryland Supreme Court reversed those rulings on September 3 and approved revised ballot language. With Democrats holding supermajorities in the General Assembly and the governor’s office, the 60% trader consensus for passage reflects the party’s structural advantages alongside voter skepticism toward changes perceived as easing partisan map-drawing. No further court or legislative hurdles remain before Election Day.
