Maryland voters face a closely balanced contest over Question 3, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would limit state redistricting criteria to legislative districts only and authorize Supreme Court original jurisdiction for congressional maps. A late-September UMBC poll of likely voters showed 53 percent opposition, 25 percent support, and 19 percent undecided, reflecting voter wariness of expanded legislative flexibility on congressional boundaries. The measure cleared the Maryland Supreme Court in early September after lower-court challenges over ballot language and deadlines, following its August passage in a special legislative session backed by Democratic leaders. With early voting set to begin later in October and four weeks remaining before the November 3 election, campaign efforts targeting undecided voters and turnout patterns among partisan and independent blocs could shift the outcome either way.
