Maryland braces for mid-decade redistricting with August session
TL;DR
Maryland will hold an August special session to begin a potential mid-decade redraw of its congressional map, pursuing a state constitutional amendment that would empower lawmakers to adjust lines ahead of the 2028 elections if voters approve it; Gov. Wes Moore backs the move to protect fair representation amid federal Voting Rights Act challenges, though the plan faces political hurdles and diverges from earlier calls to redraw before 2026.
