___________LEGISLATIVE ELECTION DISTRICTS___________

In Maryland, a legislative election district, commonly called a legislative district, is a geographic area
from which voters elect their representatives to the General Assembly The State Constitution delineates
the procedure by which these districts are determined (Art. Ill, sees. 3, 4, 5).

Procedure jw Establishing Legislative Districts. The Constitution requires the Governor to initiate the
legislative reapportionment process. After each U.S. decennial census and after public hearings, the
Governor prepares a plan setting forth legislative district boundaries. This plan must conform to
requirements of the Maryland Constitution (Art. Ill, sees. 2, 3, 4). The Governor presents the plan to the
Senate President and the House Speaker. They, in turn, introduce the plan as a joint resolution to the
General Assembly by the first day of the regular legislative session in the second year following every
census. Prior to the regular session, the Governor may call a special legislative session in which to present
the plan.

The General Assembly following each decennial census, may adopt by joint resolution a legislative
district boundary plan. The plan must conform to Constitutional requirements (Art. Ill, sees. 2, 3, 4). If
the General Assembly adopts such a plan by the 45th day after the opening of the regular session (in the
second year following every census), that plan becomes law. If no plan has been adopted by the 45th day
after the opening of the regular session, the Governor's legislative district plan becomes law.

2 Legislative election districts are not to be confused with Congressional election districts, which are
determined by Congress for the election of U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives.
