  • In Baltimore County, voters approved a referendum to expand the Baltimore County Council from seven to nine members.[52]

  • In Howard County, voters approved a referendum to decide establish the inspector general's office.[54]
  • In Montgomery County, voters approved a ballot initiative to reduce term limits for the county executive from three to two terms, barring Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich from running for a third term.[55] This ballot initiative was funded by Reardon Sullivan, the former chair of the Montgomery County Republican Party.[56]
