The measure created a commission to divide the seven existing election districts of Baltimore County into twelve districts outside the city limits of Baltimore.

Election results

Prior to 1864, amendments to the Maryland Constitution were decided by the general assembly, rather than by voters. The 1776 Constitution required that an act to amend the constitution, after being passed in one session, had to then be confirmed by an act at the following session of the general assembly.
