Maryland retained eight seats in the U.S. House of Representatives following the 1990 federal census. Boundaries of Maryland's congressional election districts are defined by legislation enacted by the General Assembly. These boundaries have changed over time, and they continue to change. Local boards of elections are empowered to redefine precinct boundaries but cannot alter the election districts or wards designated by the Legislature. In the boundary description of congressional election districts that follows, all references to election districts, wards, and precincts signify geographical boundaries as they existed on April 1, 1990.
Precinct boundaries are dynamic.
Changes are made to reflect population shifts and to ensure convenient polling places for all voters. Local boards of elections can provide current information on precincts encompassed within each district. Baltimore City Ward 25, precincts 14-21. Ward 28, precinct 1. Ward 28, precincts 2-20.
