ANNAPOLIS — The advance deadline for Marylanders to register to vote in next month’s presidential general election is Tuesday, Oct. 15.
To register to vote or check that your registration is up to date, use the Maryland State Board of Elections’ online registration system. See https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/OnlineVoterRegistration/InstructionsStep1.
Those who prefer not to register online may print the registration form (English version, https://elections.maryland.gov/voter_registration/documents/English_Internet_VRA.pdf and Spanish version, https://elections.maryland.gov/voter_registration/documents/Spanish_Internet_VRA.pdf ) and submit it at their local board of elections.
If a voter is sending in their voter registration by mail, it must be postmarked by Oct. 15.
Marylanders also can register when they cast their vote during early voting (Thursday, Oct. 24 through Thursday, Oct. 31) or on Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 5.) Make sure to bring a document that proves where you live when you visit your local polling place.
For more information, see https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterSearch.
The State Board of Elections reminds Marylanders who are on parole or probation, or have completed their sentence, that they are eligible to vote unless they were convicted of buying or selling votes.
