Maryland’s 2024 General Election Day on Nov. 5 saw a variety of races and ballot questions with significant implications. With registered Democrats outnumbering Republicans in the state, the presidential race historically favors the blue party. The U.S. Senate race is closely watched given its potential to shift power balance, as the state hasn’t had a Republican senator since 1987.
All eight U.S. House seats in Maryland were up for election, with competitive races like Neil Parrott vs. April Delaney in the 6th District and Johnny Olszewski, Kim Klacik, and Jasen Wunder vying for the 2nd District. Statewide, voters decided on Question 1, aiming to enshrine reproductive rights in the state constitution.
In Baltimore, voters cast their ballots for mayor, City Council representatives, and other positions, including crucial decisions on issues like Harborplace development and City Council size reduction.
