Maryland Senate rejects June primary change for state elections
The Maryland Senate shot down a measure to move the primary from September to June by a 20 to 18 vote, missing the 22 needed for passage, while approving a merit system for election board employees. Lawmakers also tentatively approved the capital budget and rejected broad changes to school construction aid. An amended bill to license construction and heavy equipment operators in Baltimore and seven counties was approved. Opponents argued a five month gap to the general election would extend the campaign, while backers said summer campaigning is unavoidable. Senate member Edward Hall warned sessions may push a June primary if May sessions occur.
