The Maryland Constitutional Convention Amendment, also known as Amendment 6, was on the November 7, 1950 ballot in Maryland as an automatic ballot referral, where it was approved. The measure asked voters whether a convention was necessary to amend or re-write the Constitution. While this measure gained a majority of voters to be approved, it was decided that a double majority was needed to actually enact the amendment, and so a convention was never held.
