Maryland’s Primary Election is on April 28 — Early Voting is April 6-23. If you would like information about the candidates, please check out this great website: https://www.vote411.org/ .
Absentee ballots are available to all MD citizens who are already registered to vote; you do not need to specify a reason for your request.
Given the current state of affairs, we strongly encourage you to consider signing up for an absentee ballot. There are three ways you can request an absentee ballot:
- Online if you have a Maryland’s driver’s license or MVA-issued ID card.
- Complete and return one of the forms below. Read the instructions, enter the required information, print the form, sign it, and return it to your local board of elections. You can return it by mail, fax, or email (scanned as an attachment).
- Go to your local board of elections and fill out and turn in the form.
For the 2020 Primary Election, your request must be received (not just mailed) by:
- Tuesday, April 21, 2020, if you want to receive your ballot by mail or fax
- Friday, April 24, 2020, if you want to download your ballot from the State’s website
Remember that you must be registered with a party to participate in that party’s primary in Maryland. If you want to change or add a party affiliation, or if you’re not registered to vote at all, you can do it online here. The deadline to change or add a party affiliation before the primary is April 7.
