The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the state of Maryland, one from each of the state's eight congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on June 23, 2026.[1]

Failed redistricting attempt

[edit]

In November 2025, as a part of the broader 2025–2026 United States redistricting, Governor Wes Moore announced the formation of the Governor's Redistricting Advisory Commission, which was tasked with holding public hearings and providing recommendations for a new congressional map.[2] On January 20, 2026, the commission voted to recommend a congressional map that would redraw Maryland's 1st congressional district to improve the Democratic Party's chances of winning it.[3] The map passed the Maryland House of Delegates by a 99–37 vote on February 2, 2026,[4] but died in the Maryland Senate after Senate President Bill Ferguson refused to hold a vote on the redistricting bill in the Senate.[5] In August 2026, the Maryland General Assembly convened for a special session, during which it passed Question 3, which would exempt Maryland's congressional districts from guidelines in the Constitution of Maryland that require legislative districts to respect natural boundaries and the boundaries of political subdivisions. If approved by voters, it may allow Democrats to redraw its congressional maps ahead of the 2028 elections.[6] Voters approved Question 3 on November 3, 2026, with approximately 60% of the vote.[7]
