Supreme Court of Maryland

State Bd. of Elections v. Ambridge

October 10, 2024

Summary

The Maryland Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s judgment, holding that § 9‑209(a) does not permit judicial review of whether a proposed charter amendment is proper charter material or whether its language is easily understandable, and that Ballot Question F is proper charter material and complies with the statutory language requirements. The case was remanded for entry of judgment in favor of the State Board of Elections.
