The referendum would amend the state’s constitution to protect the “right to reproductive freedom,” which includes access to abortion and contraception.
The most-watched election on the ballot is the U.S. Senate race between former Gov. Larry Hogan and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.
Alsobrooks plans to support education initiatives proposed by the Biden administration, while Hogan hopes to continue work from his gubernatorial tenure.
The contest is one of the most-watched Senate races in the country and could decide who controls the Senate, which is currently narrowly held by Democrats.
Alsobrooks became Prince George’s County’s first female county executive in 2018 after serving as the state’s attorney in the county from 2011 to 2018.
