SINCE YOU LAST VOTED…

Since 2020, it’s gotten easier to cast your ballot in Maryland. Here are the changes you need to pay attention to:

When registering to vote…

  • Military voters can now register and apply for absentee ballots online.
  • Colleges are now equipped to help their students create voting plans. (Make sure to book an appointment for a time that you won’t oversleep.)
  • It’s now easier for incarcerated persons to register to vote.

When making a plan to vote…

  • The absentee voting list is now permanent and opt-in, so you can choose to vote by mail for all future elections if you so prefer.
  • Early voting centers are much more widely available and focus on accessibility to low-income and minority communities.
  • Early voting centers must be open from 7:00am to 8:00pm each day (an earlier start than in the past – buy your local poll workers a coffee.)

When casting your vote…

  • Drop boxes are more accessible to voters than before, so consider making them a part of your voting plan.
