Election Results: Question 3 on Redistricting
Voters also weigh a ballot measure that could let lawmakers redraw congressional maps for 2028 or later, while all eight U.S. House seats are contested.
On Tuesday, Maryland voters headed to the polls in a gubernatorial rematch between Democratic Governor Wes Moore and Republican challenger Dan Cox, while deciding all eight U.S. House seats and three statewide ballot questions.
State lawmakers placed Question 3 on the ballot to remove constitutional restrictions on congressional redistricting, aiming to simplify map-drawing for potential future district changes, though opponents warn it invites partisan gerrymandering.
While Governor Moore and former President Barack Obama rallied for Question 3, Republicans decried the measure as an effort to "gerrymander" districts so that all eight of the state's congressional seats are represented by Democrats.
Beyond the gubernatorial race, voters decided contests for Attorney General Anthony Brown, who faces Republican James Rutledge, and local offices as new county executives prepare to take office in Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties.
If approved, the redistricting measure would not alter current districts but would allow lawmakers to pursue new maps for the 2028 election cycle, potentially shifting the balance of power in future congressional contests.
