Maryland Question 3, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment placed on the November 3, 2026 ballot after the state Supreme Court cleared revised language in early September, seeks to limit existing compactness and boundary criteria to state legislative districts only while authorizing greater legislative flexibility for congressional maps. Recent UMBC polling of likely voters shows 53 percent opposition, 25 percent support, and 19 percent undecided, reflecting broad resistance among Republicans and independents alongside Democratic divisions. The closely balanced market odds reflect this tension between party-led efforts to enable mid-decade adjustments and voter skepticism toward easing redistricting standards ahead of early voting in late October. Turnout patterns, campaign messaging on the measure's implications, and shifts among undecided voters could determine the outcome.
