Maryland voters face Question 3 on November 3, 2026, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would limit existing contiguity, compactness, and population standards to state legislative districts while clarifying that the state constitution sets no criteria for congressional boundaries and authorizing Supreme Court original jurisdiction over challenges. Democratic legislative leaders advanced the measure via special session in August after lower courts initially blocked it, with the state Supreme Court clearing a revised version for the ballot in early September. A late September University of Maryland poll found majority voter opposition, reflecting concerns over expanded legislative flexibility for future congressional maps in a state where Democrats already hold seven of eight U.S. House seats. This partisan divide, procedural history, and public sentiment sustain the narrow trader consensus favoring rejection, with turnout patterns or last-minute campaign efforts on gerrymandering risks or federal alignment potentially shifting the outcome.
