Voter registration remains an option for those who have not yet registered. Marylanders can complete their registration by visiting an early voting center or by voting in person on Primary Election Day, which is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23. To register, voters must present a document verifying their current address. The State Administrator of Elections has emphasized the convenience and security of early voting, noting typical strong turnout for this option and encouraging all eligible citizens to make a plan for casting their ballot.

“Early voting is a secure and convenient option for casting your vote in the primary election,” said Jared DeMarinis, State Administrator of Elections. “We typically experience strong turnout for early voting, so I urge every Marylander considering this option to plan ahead.”
