What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

The Maryland General Assembly passed a bill during a special session that will place a redistricting referendum on the ballot for voters this year. The legislation establishes that the Maryland Constitution does not provide specific criteria for congressional district boundaries, giving lawmakers more flexibility in future redistricting efforts. The bill passed the House with a 96-38 vote and the Senate with a 32-13 vote.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The passage of the bill allows the General Assembly a clearer legal path to redraw congressional maps in the future. If voters approve the referendum, any redrawn map is likely to alter the 1st District, which currently includes all Eastern Shore counties and parts of Baltimore County.
