In addition to the candidates running for office, voters get to vote on measures, some of which are state constitutional amendments, and others were laws passed that some seek to overturn by referendum of the voters. As stated on the State Board of Elections website: 

​

Constitutional Amendment

From the 2023 Legislative Session there will be one ballot question to appear on the November 5, 2024 general election ballots. During the 2024 Legislative Session additional questions may be added. The Secretary of State is responsible for preparing and certifying the statewide ballot question language not later than Friday, August 2, 2024.

​

This important amendment was strongly supported by UULM-MD, as it enshrines the provisions of Roe v. Wade in our State Consitution.  As we did with marriage equality in 2012, we will be mobilizing Maryland UUs to get the word out about this amendment and urging voters to pass it. Stay tuned for our UU the Vote efforts and step up to make your views heard.

SENATE BILL 798
HOUSE BILL 705

 

Once the Attorney General approves the text of the amendments we will provide it here.

Local Ballot Issues

Ballot issues proposed for specific counties will include authorizing the county/city to issue bonds for certain purposes (e.g. affordable housing and school construction in Baltimore City) , or amending the county charter for various reasons.

Once these local ballot issues are known, we will post them here.
