How to Get a MARYLAND Absentee Ballot in the Mail for the Presidential Election

Anyone registered to vote in Maryland can vote a mail-in ballot. Just submit a request for a
ballot, and the state will  send it to you.

AFTER YOU VOTE:  After you vote your ballot, you must return it to your local election office by mail, by dropping it in a drop-off box, or by taking it to your local election office. You can mail your voted ballot or take it to your local election office at any time. A list of designated drop off locations will be included with your ballot.

If you request a mail-in ballot and decide to vote in person, you will have to vote a provisional ballot.
How do I ask for a mail-in ballot?
If you have a Maryland driver’s license or MVA-issued ID card, PLEASE  use the online system to request a ballot.  They can process your request more quickly, and we do not have to worry about reading your handwriting.

How will I receive my ballot?
The best way to receive your ballot is to ask us to mail it to you. We can send it to any address you want. Voting a ballot that you get in the mail helps us speed up the vote count and keep election workers safe during the pandemic. We will also send you an envelope with prepaid postage. No postage necessary!

How soon should I request my ballot?
Submit your request now! If you wait, there is a risk that your local elections office may be overwhelmed by last minute requests and may not be able to process your request in time. If that should happen, you may have to vote in person.
The deadline for requesting a mail-in ballot is Tuesday, October 20, 2020.
