Prince George's County Question B: Eliminate At-large Council Members
Source: elections.maryland.gov
What does this measure do?
Starting with the term that begins in December 2030, the Prince George's County Council would shrink from 11 members to 9 by ending the two at-large seats elected countywide. Each voter would then help elect one council member instead of three, and the county would stop paying for two seats.
