:graybox: Question 2 - Constitutional Amendment
   Circuit Court in Banc Decisions
   Allows appeals to the Court of Special Appeals from a decision by an in banc circuit court.
   (Amending Article IV-Judiciary Department)
   This constitutional amendment establishes the right of a party who did not request in banc
   review by the circuit court to appeal an adverse decision by the in banc court to the
   State's intermediate appellate court, the Court of Special Appeals. The amendment provides
   that a party in a circuit court trial conducted by less than three circuit court judges is
   eligible for in banc review. The amendment establishes that three judges of a circuit court
   constitute a circuit court in banc. The amendment repeals the authority of the circuit
   courts to regulate the rules governing in banc circuit court appeals, and establishes that
   the Maryland Rules are to provide the procedure for such appeals. The amendment also
   eliminates obsolete language pertaining to writs of error from this provision of the
   Constitution.

:graybox: Question 3 - Constitutional Amendment
   Civil Jury Trials
   Authorizes the enactment of legislation that limits the right to trial by jury in civil
   proceedings to those proceedings in which the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000.

   Requires power and duties assigned to the State Board of Elections to be exercised in
   accordance with an affirmative vote by a supermajority of the members of the State Board;

   educational institutions; requires local boards to adopt regulations concerning voter
