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

HB 56 proposes constitutional changes to reform Maryland's redistricting process. It requires each legislative district to consist of three single-member delegate districts and establishes a 188-member Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Convention, elected by voters after each census, to draw new state and congressional district maps. The convention's plan becomes law unless the General Assembly challenges it within 45 days, triggering a Supreme Court review. This directly affects Maryland voters, state legislators, and the process of redrawing electoral boundaries following population changes.
