Big elections changes could come for Maryland, and here’s what lawmakers are considering
More than 70 election-related bills have been proposed this year during the Maryland General Assembly’s legislative session in Annapolis. Sen. Cheryl Kagan, D-Montgomery, alone has eight. Such a bounty of bills begs the question: What exactly are lawmakers looking to change? “Maryland already has excellent elections,” said Kagan, sponsor of a bill called the Election Reform Act of 2023, S.B. 864, during a Feb. 24 hearing on one of her elections bills.
