Their records and the three tests
  • Black voters can decide it (not met). Black citizens are 30.3 percent of Maryland citizens old enough to vote. The last race for this office was not close enough for that share to decide it.
  • Broad power. The governor signs or vetoes every Maryland law, proposes the state budget and runs the state government.
  • History. Wes Moore became the first Black governor of Maryland in 2023 and is seeking a second term.

30.3% of citizens old enough to vote in Maryland are Black: 1,339,683 of 4,418,302 (2020 to 2024).

What It Means Here

In any race here decided by fewer points than 30.3, whether Black citizens turn out and how they vote can decide the result. This counts citizens old enough to vote, not registered voters or turnout, which are counted separately.

Forecasts are estimates, not counts

SourceLine does not forecast races. These outlets publish forecasts, each with its own method and date. Read them as estimates, side by side, never as results.

When it becomes final

The state certifies its results by December 4, 2026. Until then every number here is a SourceLine Count, labelled Where It Stands and not yet certified. Once certified, races read On the Record.

Basis: Md. Code, Election Law 11-503(a): the Board of State Canvassers convenes within 30 days after the election (Dec 3, 2026) and reviews the local statements and determines the results within 1 day after convening (Dec 4, 2026 at the latest).

About these figures

Every figure on this page shows the year it describes. Public agencies release their numbers on their own schedules, often a year or more after the work of counting is done. The Census Bureau, for example, publishes its five year community survey each December, and the national reading test is given every two years. That is why some figures are not from this year. SourceLine updates each one as soon as the agency publishes it.

For some counties and small towns, SourceLine has not found meeting records online. Where it has not, we add them as they become available. A page that says SourceLine hasn’t updated a record yet means exactly that.
