State Constitutional Convention - Question on Ballot - Passage by Majority of Votes Cast

Summary

The bill directs Maryland’s General Assembly to call a constitutional convention only if more than half of the votes cast on the ballot question favor it, and any changes the convention proposes can become law only if a majority of votes cast on the adoption question support them. It applies to all counties and Baltimore districts, giving each delegate representation equal to its legislative seats, and bypasses the usual local‑approval requirements. The measure would appear on the November 2026 general election ballot.
