ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Maryland State Board of Elections reminds voters that statewide in-person early voting for this year’s General Election begins Thursday, October 24 and runs through Thursday, October 31, 2024.

Voters can find a list of early voting centers in all counties and the City of Baltimore here (in en espanol). Early voting centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Some early voting locations changed following July’s Primary Election.

There is still time to register to vote in the upcoming election. Marylanders can register when they cast their vote during early voting or on Election Day (Tuesday, November 5.) To register, make sure to bring a document that proves where you live when you visit your local polling place.

For registered voters, there are two other ways to vote in this election: mail-in voting and voting on Election Day.

Mail-In Voting: To receive a mail-in ballot by mail, your request must be received (not just mailed) by October 29. The deadline to request a web delivery mail-in ballot is November 1. Visit SBE’s mail-in ballot webpage to request a ballot. Mail-in ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by or before 8 p.m. on November 5. If returned by hand, ballots must be dropped at a ballot drop box or local board of elections by 8 p.m. on November 5. A list of drop box locations is here (en espanol).

Vote on Election Day: To find your Election Day polling place, visit SBE’s Find My Polling Place portal. Election Day polling places will be open November 5 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
