Maryland Gerrymandering and the 6th District Emergency Commission

Posted on News by Lwvmd Administrator · February 13, 2019 12:42 PM

Maryland’s 6th Congressional District is prime example of the partisan gerrymandering that occurred in Maryland after the 2010 census, the Emergency Commission tasked with redrawing it hopes its work will help Maryland find its way to enacting a more transparent, independent and multi-partisan redistricting process.

The National Landscape is Shifting - Now is the Time for MD to ACT!

Posted on Redistricting Literature by Lwvmd Administrator · January 30, 2019 10:22 AM

On 1/24/19 this information was delivered to members of the Maryland General Assembly to help keep them informed on the strides being made across the country in redistricting reform, and ask them to act now! Feel free to share this information with your legislator, friends, neighbors, and anyone you can educate about the need for Fair Maps in Maryland!


The clock is ticking. Following the 2020 census the Maryland General Assembly must approve new legislative and Congressional election districts.   

Will they be drawn in a fair and transparent manner or will Maryland continue to be one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation? 

Let's work together to find a better way to do redistricting.
