Maryland State Board Of Elections Reminds Marylanders Of Voter Registration Options

As the 2026 primary election approaches, the Maryland State Board of Elections (SBE) reminds residents of their voter registration options and deadlines.

“Maryland is at its strongest when residents make their voices heard in our electoral process, and that starts with registering to vote,” said SBE Administrator Jared DeMarinis. “By registering early and making a plan to vote, Marylanders take an active role in shaping the future through our democratic process.”

How To Register To Vote

There are three ways to register to vote in this year’s elections.

Register online: The preliminary deadline to register or update voter registration is Tuesday, June 2. To register online, use SBE’s online registration system.

Register by mail: Residents can register by printing the registration form (English version and Spanish version) and mailing it by June 2. Mailed registrations must be postmarked by this date. Alternatively, residents can submit it at their local board of elections.

Register in-person: Residents can register during early voting from June 11-18, or on Primary Election Day, June 23. Polls are open from 7:00am to 8:00pm. Voters in line by 8:00pm will be able to register. A list of early voting locations will be posted online. Make sure to bring a document that proves where you live when you attempt to vote at your local polling place or early voting center.
