The MD Board of Elections has set June 2, 2020, for the Primary Election in Maryland. It will run 7 am until 8 pm that day. However, you must be registered as a member of a political party in order to vote in that election — registration for this election closes May 27, 2020. Please note, this election will be primarily a “vote by mail” election. This means that the MD BoE will automatically mail a ballot to all eligible voters. You should receive your ballot in early to mid May. You do not need to ask for a ballot to receive one. All mailed ballots included a return envelope and prepaid postage.
To reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19, they recommend that voters who can vote by mail do so. Voted ballots must be postmarked on or before Tuesday, June 2, 2020.
Voters who prefer to drop off their ballots can do so at the Kent County Public Library or the Kent County Board of Elections in Chestertown from Thursday, May 21, 2020 through Tuesday, June 2, 2020. If you are unable to vote by mail, or you need help in voting, you may vote in-person on election day, June 2, 2020, at Kent County Public Library in Chestertown.
