Question 3 - Constitutional Amendment - Election Districts
Source: results.elections.maryland.gov
What does this measure do?
Maryland's rules that districts be connected, compact, and equal in population would apply only to state legislative districts, not congressional districts, which would follow federal law. Lawmakers would have more freedom in drawing your congressional district; this vote does not draw a new map.
