Maryland Early Voting Schedule

Early voting will be held from Thursday, October 24, 2024 through Thursday, October 31, 2024. Early voting centers will be open from 7 am to 8 pm

Why Vote Early?

The goals of early voting are usually to increase voter participation, relieve congestion at polling stations on election day, and avoid possible discrimination against people with work and travel schedules that may effectively prohibit them from getting to the polls during the hours provided in a single election day.
