MARYLAND - Early voting in Maryland's 2024 primary elections begins on Thursday. Here's what you need to know if you plan to head to the polls before election day.
Early voting will take place from Thursday, May 2 through Thursday, May 9. Maryland election officials say there will be at least one early voting location in each county. Centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Election officials stress that early voting is much less election day voting. You arrive at the polling location, check in with an election judge, and then receive and fill out your ballot.
Democratic and Republican voters will be able to vote in their party's presidential primary, as well as primaries for Maryland's first congressional district and the open U.S. Senate seat to succeed longtime Senator Ben Cardin. Some Eastern Shore counties also have county government elections in which primaries are being held.
