Maryland Question 3, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on the November 3, 2026 ballot, seeks to clarify that state redistricting standards for contiguity, compactness, and political boundaries apply only to legislative districts and not congressional ones while authorizing Supreme Court original jurisdiction over congressional plans. Recent polls, including a University of Maryland Baltimore County survey released October 7, show 53% opposition, 25% support, and 19% undecided, reflecting broad resistance from Republicans and independents alongside some Democratic skepticism over gerrymandering concerns. The measure advanced after a special legislative session in August and a September 3 Maryland Supreme Court ruling that placed it on the ballot despite lower court challenges. Campaigns are underway, with Democratic-backed groups emphasizing counter-redistricting efforts in other states, while opponents highlight risks of partisan map-drawing ahead of 2028. Early voting begins October 22, leaving room for shifts in voter information or turnout to influence the outcome.
