Voting Rights Act of 2026 - Counties and Municipal Corporations

Summary

The law bars any voting system used by Maryland counties or cities that weakens the ability of protected‑class voters to elect their chosen candidates. It lets the Attorney General or private parties sue for injunctions, damages, or other relief, and gives courts broad authority to order remedies. The measure aims to prevent “polarized voting” that disadvantages minority voters.
