Registering to Vote in Maryland

You are usually eligible to register to vote in Maryland if you meet the following 3 conditions:

  • You will be 18 by November 4, 2008 (Election Day)
  • You are a U.S. Citizen
  • You are a resident of MD (Note: If you are attending an out-of-state college, you are generally still considered to be a MD resident unless you no longer have a home in MD, or choose to register in your new state.)
YOU CAN ONLY BE REGISTERED IN ONE STATE.

If you are unsure about any of these requirements, or have been convicted of a crime other than a misdemeanor, visit the MD Board of Elections site.

Once you register, you remain registered in that county and state unless you change your registration. If you move (change your permanent address), even within Cecil County, you must notify the County Election Board, or you may change your voter registration at the MD Dept. of Motor Vehicles.

The deadline for registering to vote in the 2008 General Election is Oct. 14. Election Day is NOV. 4. If you wish to register now, or have more questions, just click on one of the links above OR call the Election Board at 410-996-5310 OR download a mail-in application.

If you wish to vote by mail please request, in advance, an ABSENTEE BALLOT by calling 410-996-5310 or click here for instructions or here to download a mail-in request.
