Maryland Voters Approve Most Constitutional Changes
Maryland voters approved nine of ten proposed constitutional amendments and a ballot measure, but defeated the housing referendum and the constitutional convention question. Amendments included creating a lieutenant governor post, District Court system, a judicial appointments provision, longer legislative sessions, redistricting plans, a six month residency requirement, governor power to reorganize departments, charter government option, and school prayer language. A separate housing authority referendum failed by about 94,000 votes, while the Community Development Administration measure also lost. Local context notes some measures mirrored prior rejected proposals from 1968.

States vote on lowering voting age and other measures

Washington approved physician licensed abortions and Maryland favored school prayers. Nebraska rejected aid to private schools. Michigan capped parochial teachers’ salaries. Maine and Nebraska appeared to approve lower age to 18, with Montana and Massachusetts also moving on age.
