Election Districts - General Assembly and Representatives in Congress
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify that Maryland's state redistricting rules apply only to the General Assembly, not to congressional districts. It would grant the General Assembly the power to allow the state Supreme Court to review congressional district maps and explicitly state that the state constitution provides no specific criteria for drawing those congressional lines. The amendment aims to resolve legal uncertainty by ensuring that state-level districting standards do not interfere with federal requirements for congressional representation. If approved by voters, the change would shift the legal framework for congressional maps to rely solely on federal law while leaving state legislative districts under current state rules.
