State Legislative Redistricting

Every 10 years, local and state legislatures nationwide make adjustments to legislative boundaries for political representation in Congress, Statehouses, and on county councils and county commissions.

In the 2022 session that convenes January 12, the Maryland General Assembly will consider proposed changes to the 47 House and Senate legislative districts that have been in place for the past decade.

The House Rules and Senate Redistricting Committees will hold a joint public hearing in the first few weeks of the session. A joint Redistricting Resolution with the map would then go to each chamber for a floor vote. Upon final passage by both chambers, it goes into effect. Unlike regular legislation or the Congressional Redistricting map approved by the General Assembly in December, it is not sent to the Governor for approval.

The proposed map can be viewed here. It should allow users to enter a street address complete with zip code to determine the district of any residential or commercial property in Maryland.
