In 2022, Marylanders will vote for governor, new state senators and delegates, a U.S. Senator, and U.S. Representatives. Not only that, but some state and congressional legislative districts have new boundaries as part of the redistricting process that follows a US Census. Please use this toolkit to help your parishioners throughout the elections!
