BOARD OF ELECTIONS REMINDS RESIDENTS THAT EARLY VOTING BEGINS TOMORROW

LARGO, MD – The Prince George’s County Board of Elections reminds residents that early voting for the 2022 Maryland Gubernatorial Primary Election begins tomorrow, Thursday, July 7 through Thursday, July 14. Polls will be open from 7 AM until 8 PM, including Saturday and Sunday. 

Any eligible voter can vote in-person at one of the 13 early voting centers or deposit their completed mail-in ballot in one of the safe, secure 38 drop boxes available throughout the County. Information on the upcoming election including how to register, the vote by mail process, polling locations, drop boxes and redistricting is readily accessible on the Board of Elections website to help existing and new County voters navigate the electoral process.

Board of Elections leaders also want County voters to be mindful of the following:

• Residents can take advantage of same day voter registration during early voting. They must bring their MVA issued driver’s license or identification card to any early voting center, where they will be allowed to register and vote.
• The deadline to apply for a Vote By Mail application is Tuesday, July 12, 2022. 
• Primary Election Day is Tuesday, July 19, 2022. 
• Maryland has a closed primary, which means that only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in the primary election unless there is a nonpartisan race in the voter’s district.
• The PROUD TO VOTE Toolkit is available to help motivate and encourage County voters to participate in the voting process. Download the 2022 PROUD TO VOTE TOOLKIT here.

The mission of the Prince George's County Board of Elections is to promote voter education, administer an efficient voting process, maintain an accurate voter registration database, and ensure that elected officials are elected in accordance with Federal, State, and County election laws.
