Maryland voters face Question 3 on November 3, 2026, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would limit state redistricting criteria such as compactness, contiguity, and regard for political subdivisions to legislative districts only, while authorizing the General Assembly to grant the state Supreme Court original jurisdiction over congressional map challenges. The measure emerged from an August 2026 special session called by Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, passed along party lines, and cleared legal hurdles when the Maryland Supreme Court reinstated it in September after lower courts blocked it. Recent polling shows 53% opposition among likely voters, driven by Republican and unaffiliated voters plus some Democrats wary of mid-decade congressional redistricting that could target the state’s sole Republican U.S. House seat. Campaigns are intensifying with competing ads framing the question around national partisan map-drawing fights, leaving room for shifts from turnout, messaging on gerrymandering concerns, or undecided voter movement in the final weeks.
