The Court of Appeals of Maryland has affirmed the recommendations presented in Special Magistrate Alan M. Wilner’s Report regarding the 2022 Legislative Districting of the State. The court's order confirms that the primary for gubernatorial elections will take place on July 19, 2022.
In addition to setting the date for the primary elections, the order specifies a requirement for candidates in the statewide general election. Candidates must establish residency in their new district by May 8, 2022, to be eligible.
This decision finalizes key dates for Maryland's upcoming electoral events and provides clarity for candidates and voters alike.
