LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTING PLAN OF 2002

The Legislative Districting Plan of 2002 defines the geographic areas from which voters elect Senators and Delegates to represent them in the General Assembly. As required by the Maryland Constitution, the Plan was presented by the Governor to the General Assembly on January 9, 2002, and became law on February 23, 2002 (Joint Resolution nos. 1 and 2, Acts of 2002; Code State Government Article, secs. 2-201 through 2-205). Thereafter, petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Plan were filed with the Court of Appeals. After hearing arguments and the report of a Court-appointed Special Master, the Court held that the Legislative Districting Plan of 2002 did not meet constitutional requirements. In the matter of Legislative Districting of the State, the Court of Appeals issued an order on June 11, 2002, indicating that the Court ". . . will endeavor to prepare a constitutional plan." On June 21, 2002, the Court issued its own redistricting plan.

The following descriptions of boundaries for legislative election districts reflect the Legislative Districting Plan of 2002 as ordered by the Court of Appeals on June 21, 2002. They refer to election districts, wards, and precincts by geographical boundaries as they existed on April 1, 2000. Precinct boundaries are dynamic. Changes occur to reflect population shifts and to ensure convenient polling places for all voters. Local boards of elections can provide current information on precincts encompassed within each district.
