Maryland House of Delegates elections, 2014
Elections for the Maryland House of Delegates took place in 2014. A primary election took place on June 24, 2014. The general election was held on November 4, 2014. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was February 25, 2014.

While the Democratic Party maintained its control over the chamber, the party sustained a loss of eight seats. Their total seats dropped from 98 to 90. However, they maintained a considerable advantage over the Republican Party, which, despite the gain of eight seats, only controlled 51 seats.

Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in Maryland
Between 2000 and 2010 Maryland's population grew by 9 percent, just below the national average. Baltimore saw its power decrease as it shrank by some 30,000 residents. For legislative redistricting, the Governor is responsible for drafting plans and submitting the new maps to the General Assembly. The Governor appoints an advisory commission to assist in this task. Under the state Constitution, each district is required to have one Senator and three Delegates.
The Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Committee released a proposed map of new legislative districts on December 16, 2011, increasing the number of majority black districts from 10 to 12. Democrats voiced support for the plan, while Republicans criticized it for being divisive and highly partisan. The Fannie Lou Hamer Political Action Committee, a black activist group, threatened to sue the state if the map was approved by the legislature, arguing that the plan violated the federal Voting Rights Act by purposely reducing black influence and violated state laws by splitting more boundaries and counties than was necessary.[1]
In the end the legislature decided on inaction, letting the governor's plan become law on February 24, 2012, without taking a vote. A number of alternative maps were proposed in the House, but none of them received committee hearings.[2]
List of candidates
Note: Districts have three seats each except where noted. The number of seats in a district defines how many candidates can win in either party's primary; for example, District 2A has two seats, meaning the two Democrats running were effectively unopposed in their primary and the top two finishers in the Republican primary advanced to the general election.
