Get StartedThis constitutional amendment would alter the eligibility requirements for the office of senator or delegate. Under current provisions of the Maryland Constitution, a person is eligible to serve as a senator or delegate if the person (1) is at least age 25 (for senator) or age 21 (for delegate) on the date of the election; (2) is a citizen of the State; (3) has resided in the State for at least one year before the date of the election; and (4) has resided in the district to which the person has been elected to represent for six months immediately preceding the date of the election or, if the district has been established for less than six months prior to the date of election, as long as the district has been established. Under this constitutional amendment, beginning January 1, 2024, a person would be required to have both resided in and maintained a primary place of abode in the district the person has been chosen to represent for at least six months immediately preceding the date of the person's election or, if the district has been established for less than six months prior to the date of election, as long as the district has been established.
A "yes" vote supports adding to the eligibility requirements to serve as a senator or a delegate to the Maryland General Assembly by requiring a person to have maintained a primary place of abode in the district that the person has been chosen to represent. The new law would require, beginning January 1, 2024, a person to have both resided in and maintained a primary place of abode in the district for the same time periods as under the current law.
A "no" vote supports retaining the current eligibility requirements for senators or delegates of the Maryland General Assembly. Under current law, a person must have resided in the district to which the person has been elected for at least six months immediately preceding the date of the person's election or, if the district has been established for less than six months prior to the date of election, as long as the district has been established.
