BALTIMORE — The 2024 Election has come and gone.

Usually Maryland voters focus on political candidates up and down the ballot, yet this year many jurisdictions posed a variety of charter amendments for consideration.

The biggest statewide question was #1, enshrining reproductive freedom, including abortion access, into Maryland's constitution.

Voters overwhelmingly approved the measure by more than 74 percent.

Baltimore City residents had a few major charter amendments up for vote.

Voters signed off on Question E, formally transferring the Baltimore Police Department into a City run agency, rather than state.

The most controversial beingQuestion F, redevelopment of the Inner Harbor, which appears destined for a vote surpassing 60 percent.

City residents also voted in favor of Question G, creating a community reinvestment and reparations fund.

Question H gave voters the option to reduce the size of the City Council from 14 to 8 members. That amendment failed.

Over in Baltimore County, voters decided to expand the number of council members to 9.
