ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Maryland State Board of Elections (SBE) reminds voters that early voting for the 2024 Primary Election begins tomorrow Thursday, May 2, 2024, and continues through Thursday, May 9, 2024. Early voting runs each day during that period, including Saturday and Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

A complete list of early voting locations can be found online (Spanish version). Please note that some locations have been changed or added since the last election.

“We encourage every eligible voter in Maryland to make a plan to vote and early voting is a convenient option to consider when making that plan,” said State Administrator Jared DeMarinis. “Early voting allows voters to ensure their voice is heard in casting their ballots during a time that works best for their schedules.”   

Marylanders, who currently are not registered, may register to vote and cast a ballot that same day in-person during early voting and on Primary Election Day, May 14 at any early voting center in the county in which they reside or at their polling place on Primary Election Day.

The local board of elections are in the process of canvassing mail-in ballots it has received to date. Mail-in ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by or before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. If returned by hand, ballots must be dropped at a ballot drop box or local board of elections by 8 p.m. on Primary Election Day, Tuesday, May 14, 2024.

Each of Maryland’s 286 ballot boxes, located in all counties and the City of Baltimore, are available for use until TuesdayMay 14, 2024 at 8 p.m. A complete list of ballot box locations is available online (Spanish version). Voters may submit their completed mail-in ballots at any official drop box until Primary Election Day. Ballot boxes will be locked at 8 p.m.

  1. yeah, when it comes election day + the undecided voters need a process of elimination, consider how the candidates feel about the state ballot question: healthnotharmmd.org. oh, they side with me about the state ballot question, so I’ll vote for them. They don’t side with me about the state ballot question, so I won’t support them. Don’t concern yourself with whether the candidate is popular or not, this is the Primary.
