Question 5, if approved by a majority of Howard County voters and voters across the state, would eliminate the election of judges to the Howard County Orphan Court and Orphan Court. If approved, this constitutional amendment would repeal county elections to elect Howard County Orphan Court judges and would require Howard County Circuit Court judges to act as Howard County Orphans Court. Under the amended Act, one of the parties could no longer appeal a final judgment of the Howard County Orphans Court to the Howard County Circuit Court, but could appeal directly to the Court of Special Appeals. As stated above, general ballots will have five constitutional amendments (found here) and a question for the Howard County local ballot (found here on page 2).
