Md. voters tinker with their local governments; Elrich termed out in Montgomery

Even with this year’s elections dominated by presidential politics and national storylines, Maryland voters made significant changes to their local governments Tuesday — though they weren’t as extensive as they could have been.

In Montgomery County, voters overwhelmingly embraced a two-term limit for their county executive — meaning the incumbent, Marc Elrich (D), will be out of a job in two years.

Voters in Harford County also imposed term limits on their county council members for the first time.

But voters in Charles County and Wicomico County opted to maintain the status quo in their local governments, despite high-profile, emotional debates to change them.
