Maryland Board of Elections votes to appeal removal of Harborplace ballot question

The Maryland State Board of Elections voted Tuesday afternoon to appeal an Anne Arundel County judge’s ruling to nullify a Baltimore ballot question needed for the redevelopment of Harborplace. Maryland Elections Administrator Jared DeMarinis posted on X that the five-person board voted unanimously to appeal Anne Arundel County Judge Cathleen Vitale’s Monday ruling that the proposal, which would amend the city’s charter to allow for residential development and off-street parking along the Inner Harbor, was not appropriate for a charter amendment.
