Question 1: State employee labor agreements in the Governor's budget (constitutional amendment)

Providing that each budget submitted by the Governor shall include proposed expenditures necessary to implement wages, hours, fringe benefits, health benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment in each collective bargaining memorandum of understanding with State employees, whether the State and State employees reached those terms and conditions by mutual agreement or through a neutral decider's order. (Amending Article III of the Maryland Constitution)

Question 2: temporary members of the Commission on Judicial Disabilities (constitutional amendment)

Authorizing temporary substitute appointments to the Commission on Judicial Disabilities when a member is recused or disqualified, or when a member's term expires. In these situations, the Commission Chair may recall a former member of the Commission, or the Governor, at the request of the Commission Chair, may appoint a temporary substitute member or extend the term of a current member until a permanent replacement is appointed. Only individuals who meet the constitutional eligibility requirements may be recalled or appointed to the Commission. (Amending Article IV of the Maryland Constitution)

Question 3: state legislative and congressional districts (constitutional amendment)

Pursuant to the Supreme Court Order dated September 3, 2026, in Maryland State Board of Elections, et al. v. Lindsay Wheatley, et al. and Maryland State Board of Elections, et al. v. Michael L. Howell, et al., the language of Constitutional Amendment Question 3 now reads: FOR the purpose of clarifying that certain requirements apply only to districts for the election of members of the Senate of Maryland and the House of Delegates; authorizing the General Assembly to grant original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court of Maryland to review the congressional districting plan of the State; and providing that nothing in the Maryland Constitution provides applicable criteria for the boundaries of a congressional districting plan. (Amending Article III of the Maryland Constitution)

Dorchester County Question A: timing of the administrative structure review (charter amendment)

Currently, the County Charter requires the County Council to conduct an evaluation of the organizations, functions, powers, and duties of each department, agency, and office in the executive branch of the County government at least every four years. A vote in favor of the question amends the County Charter to specify that such evaluation of the County administrative structure shall be conducted within the first fiscal year of each County Council term. A vote against the question keeps the requirement that the County Council conduct the evaluation of the County administrative structure at least every four years.

Dorchester County Question B: later budget preparation and adoption deadlines (charter amendment)

Currently, the County Charter requires the County Council to prepare a proposed Budget for the ensuing fiscal year no later than May 1 and to adopt the Annual Budget no later than May 31, each year. A vote in favor of the question changes the proposed Budget deadline to May 15 each year and changes the Annual Budget adoption deadline to June 15, each year, to better align with revenue estimates. A vote against the question keeps the current deadlines in the County Charter for Budget preparation and Annual Budget adoption by the County Council.

Dorchester County Question C: county manager duties and vacancies (charter amendment)

Currently, the duties and responsibilities of the County Manager are specified in Section 405 of the County Charter. A vote in favor of the question amends the duties and responsibilities of the County Manager, as follows: clarifying when certain vacancies may be filled by the County Manager and when certain studies and investigations are performed by the County Manager; requiring the County Manager to attend all County Council meetings; providing for the appointment and function of an Assistant County Manager; clarifying that the County Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the County government; and establishing a process for the County Council when the County Manager position becomes vacant. A vote against the question will keep the duties and responsibilities of the County Manager as currently specified in the County Charter.

Dorchester County Question D: government transparency and public access (charter amendment)

Currently, there are no provisions in the County Charter specific to transparency in County government functions or public access to County government records. A vote in favor of the question amends the County Charter to add a new section titled Governmental Transparency and Public Access with provisions to ensure transparency of governmental functions, public access to meetings (in person and remotely) and access to public records. A vote against the question keeps a new Governmental Transparency and Public Access section from being added to the County Charter.
