Maryland voters will decide Question 3 on November 3, 2026, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment clarifying that compactness, contiguity, and related standards apply only to state legislative districts, not congressional ones, while authorizing Supreme Court original jurisdiction over congressional plans. Democratic leaders advanced the measure in an August 2026 special session to enable potential mid-decade congressional map adjustments aimed at competitive districts, following a 2022 court ruling and national redistricting dynamics. Recent polls show divided sentiment, with opposition slightly ahead among likely voters and substantial undecideds, reflecting competing views on districting flexibility versus established criteria. Legal challenges were resolved by the Maryland Supreme Court in September, clearing the ballot path. The narrow trader lean toward rejection aligns with polling margins and the measure’s dependence on turnout and messaging in the final weeks before the election.
