Maryland Manual 1994-1995 Legislature /123

and three delegates to represent them in the House of Delegates. Each district may be divided into three
delegate subdistricts or one multi-member delegate subdistrict. Each district must consist of adjoining
territory, be compact in form, and of equal population (Const., Art. III, secs. 1-4). In districts that contain
more than two counties or parts of more than two counties and where the delegates are elected at large
by the voters of the entire district, no county or part of a county is allowed to have more than one resident
delegate.

Pursuant to Article III, section 5, of the Constitution, the Governor presented the Legislative
Reapportionment Plan of 1982 to the General Assembly on January 13, 1982, and it became law on
February 26,1982 (Joint Resolution no. 1, Acts of 1982). This second statewide apportionment retained
47 legislative districts but redefined their boundaries. The third statewide apportionment of 1992 also
retained 47 legislative districts and redefined their boundaries.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
________LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTING PLAN OF 1992________

The Legislative Districting Plan of 1992 was presented by the Governor to the General Assembly on
January 8,1992, and became law on February 21,1992 (Joint Resolutions 9 and 10, Acts of 1992; Code
State Government Article, secs. 2-201 through 2-205). It is this plan that will apply when voters choose
members of the General Assembly in the 1994 primary and general elections.*

The following descriptions of boundaries for legislative election districts refer to election districts,
wards, and precincts by geographical boundaries as they existed in 1992. Precinct boundaries are dynamic.
Changes occur to reflect population shifts and to ensure convenient polling places for all voters. Local
boards of election supervisors can provide current information on precincts encompassed within each
district.
