Maryland voters face a November 3 ballot decision on Question 3, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would limit existing compactness, contiguity, and boundary criteria to state legislative districts only while authorizing Supreme Court original jurisdiction over congressional maps. Recent polls reflect divided sentiment, with one September survey showing 40% support versus 35% opposition and another indicating 28% yes against 41% no amid 25-31% undecided shares. Legal clearance by the state Supreme Court in September resolved earlier circuit court blocks, yet opposition messaging emphasizing gerrymandering concerns and Republican resistance to altering the sole GOP-held seat sustain competitive odds near even. Campaign messaging on map flexibility versus voter protections, plus turnout among independents, could shift the narrow trader consensus in either direction before election day.
