voting in maryland
You can register to vote online, by submitting a form to your local board, or by using the State Board of Elections system. You can also register during early voting or on election day. If you register in person, you must bring proof of your address, such as a Maryland license, ID card, paycheck, bank statement, utility bill, or another government document with your name and current address.
permanent mail-in ballot list
You can join Maryland’s Permanent Mail-In Ballot List by using the mail-in ballot application. If you are on the list, you will receive a mail-in ballot for every future Federal and State election you can vote in, and you will not need to submit new requests. Keep your voter registration updated if you move or make other changes. If you do not return your mail-in ballot for two General Elections in a row, you will be removed from the list. You can still vote in person or reapply to vote by mail for future elections.
what should i do if i moved?
If you moved since the last election, update your address with your current local board of elections. You can use the online voter-registration system or submit a written change. If you updated your address with the MVA and opted in, your voter record should have changed automatically. Use the voter lookup tool to confirm your address. If you do not receive a new Voter Notification Card within several weeks, contact your local board. Update your address at least 21 days before the next election. If you miss that deadline, you can still vote during early voting with a document proving your address.​
