Election Districts - General Assembly and Representatives in Congress

SB 888 is a constitutional amendment that temporarily establishes Maryland’s 8 congressional districts for elections held after the 2026 general election and before the 2030 census redistricting. It uses 2026 boundary data (election districts, wards, and precincts) to define these districts, including specific counties and parts of Anne Arundel County. The bill also clarifies that certain districting rules apply only to state legislative seats, not congressional seats, and gives the General Assembly power to allow the Supreme Court to review congressional districting. This framework expires once the state passes permanent congressional districts after the 2030 census.
