In these situations, the Commission Chair may recall a former member of the Commission, or the Governor, at the request of the Commission Chair, may appoint a temporary substitute member or extend the term of a current member until a permanent replacement is appointed. Only individuals who meet the constitutional eligibility requirements may be recalled or appointed to the Commission.

(Amending Article IV of the Maryland Constitution)

__ For the Constitutional Amendment - A vote FOR this amendment means that temporary appointments to the Commission are allowed if a member is recused, disqualified, or if a member's term ends without a replacement. The Commission Chair can temporarily fill an opening on the Commission with a former member. The Governor can, at the request of the Commission Chair pick a temporary substitute to fill an opening on the Commission or extend the term of a current member until a replacement is appointed. Only individuals who meet the constitutional eligibility requirements may be recalled or appointed to the Commission.

__ Against the Constitutional Amendment - A vote AGAINST the amendment means that current membership rules for the Commission stay the same. Temporary appointments are not allowed if a member is recused, disqualified, or if a member's term ends.

Question ____ - Constitutional Amendment

The proposed Constitutional Amendment clarifies that certain standards in the Maryland Constitution apply only to districts used to elect members of the General Assembly; authorizes the General Assembly to grant original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court of Maryland to review the congressional districting plan of the State; and requires the criteria for boundaries of congressional districts to be determined by applicable federal laws.

","proSnippet":"

A \"yes\" vote supports amending the Maryland Constitution concerning congressional redistricting to:

provide that constitutional requirements for contiguity, compactness, substantially equal population, and consideration of natural and political subdivision boundaries apply only to state legislative districts, not congressional districts;
allow the General Assembly to grant the Supreme Court of Maryland original jurisdiction over challenges to congressional redistricting plans; and
provide that the Maryland Constitution establishes no criteria for congressional district boundaries.

","conSnippet":"

A \"no\" vote opposes amending the Maryland Constitution concerning congressional redistricting, thereby:

leaving unchanged the constitutional language that the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County held in 2022 applied the state’s districting requirements to congressional districts;
not adding a provision allowing the General Assembly to grant the Supreme Court of Maryland original jurisdiction over challenges to congressional redistricting plans; and
not adding a provision stating that the Maryland Constitution establishes no criteria for congressional district boundaries.
