Maryland Legislature Passes Voting Rights Act of 2026 to Strengthen Voting Protections

Reported byThe Daily Record ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed SB 255 (Voting Rights Act of 2026) between April 14 and May 12, 2026. The law prohibits counties/municipalities from using election methods that impair protected classes' ability to elect candidates of their choice or dilute voting rights, and authorizes the Attorney General or private parties to bring legal actions for injunctive relief and damages.
