Baltimore votes against slashing City Council size from 14 to 8 districts

Baltimore voters defeated the Question H ballot measure, which aimed to reduce the size of the City Council from 14 to eight districts, with more than 62% of voters saying “no.” The vote marks the first time a city ballot measure has failed since 2004, when voters cast ballots against a proposal to lower the minimum age requirement for members of the City Council from 21 to 18 years.
