Districting - Single-Member Districts and Legislative and Congressional Redistricting and Apportionment Convention

HB 203 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Maryland's redistricting process. It requires all House of Delegates districts to be single-member (replacing current multi-member districts) and establishes a new "Legislative and Congressional Redistricting and Apportionment Convention" to draw both state and congressional districts after each census. The convention, elected by statewide vote with 188 members (minimum three per county), must submit district plans by July 1 following the census; these plans become law unless challenged by the General Assembly or the Supreme Court. This directly affects how Maryland's electoral districts are drawn, impacting all voters and political representation in the state legislature and Congress.
