Election Districts - General Assembly and Representatives in Congress
In the Senate - First Reading Senate Rules
Summary
The bill updates the boundaries of Maryland’s eight U.S. House districts for the 2026 election and any election thereafter until a new plan is adopted after the 2030 census. It also limits certain election‑law requirements to state legislative districts and gives the General Assembly power to let the Maryland Supreme Court hear original‑jurisdiction challenges to congressional maps. The changes affect voters, candidates, and the courts by redefining district lines and creating a new review pathway.
