The Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee (GRAC) submitted its recommended Congressional redistricting map to Governor Martin O'Malley on Oct. 4, 2011. The proposed plan, which builds off the existing districts created in 2002, keeps more than 70 percent of Marylanders in their current Congressional districts. The recommended adjustments reflect population changes over the past decade that were reflected in the recent U.S. Census.

The "Green Report" for Maryland's 1,849 voting districts, or precincts, is released. Counts were adjusted for redistricting pursuant to the "No Represenation Without Population Act" signed into Maryland law in 2010. Maryland census data must be adjusted for the purposes of creating congressional, state legislative, and local districting plans. Generally, the law requires that the census data must be adjusted to reassign Maryland residents in State & Federal correctional institutions to their last known address, and to exclude out-of-state residents in correctional institutions from redistricting.
