The county executive term limits in Montgomery have now been limited from the existing three consecutive terms to two consecutive terms. 

Question A on the ballot this week in Montgomery County asked voters if they wanted to limit the county executive role from three consecutive terms to two. That ballot measure was approved by voters with 68 percent of respondents supporting the change and 32 percent voting against it. This adjustment comes just eight years after Montgomery voters approved the current three-term limits for the county executive and the county council.

Question A read:

Amend Section 202 of the County Charter to decrease the term limit that applies to the County Executive from the current three consecutive terms to two consecutive terms. The decreased limit would apply to anyone who already has served two consecutive terms as of December 2026.
