Mail-in Ballots

To slow the spread of COVID-19, the 2020 Presidential General will be conducted by every eligible voter being sent a vote by mail application. The voter will need to make sure the application is in the local board of election office no later than October 20, 2020. After the applications are processed the voter can look to receive their ballots starting the beginning of October. It is safe and easy to do! Vote your ballot, sign the oath on the back of the envelope and return your voted ballot by mail or deliver to one of our two drop boxes. The envelope is postage paid, so you won’t need a stamp! Make sure your ballot is postmarked on or before November 3, 2020.

Register to vote or ensure your voter registration is updated with your current information by visiting the State Board Website at elections.maryland.gov. The close of voter registration is October 13, 2020.
