Clean Maryland Democracy Amendment

HB 584 proposes a constitutional amendment to strengthen voting rights and election integrity in Maryland. It guarantees equal voting access for all eligible voters (protecting against discrimination based on race, disability, or language status), bans foreign governments and foreign-influenced corporations from spending in Maryland elections, and requires full disclosure of major political donors. The bill also mandates the creation of a Maryland Voting Rights Act by 2028 and establishes a voluntary public financing program for General Assembly candidates starting in 2030. These changes directly affect all Maryland voters, candidates for state office, and political spenders by reshaping election rules and funding transparency.
