ANNAPOLIS (October 21, 2026) — The Maryland State Board of Elections (SBE) reminds voters that in-person early voting in the 2026 Gubernatorial General Election begins tomorrow, Thursday October 22, 2026.
“Early voting provides Marylanders with a secure, convenient and flexible way to cast their ballots,” said State Administrator Jared DeMarinis. “Remember, this is our election, Maryland. Make your voices heard, I encourage voters to take advantage of early voting and make a plan today.”
Early voting runs from Thursday, October 22 to Thursday, October 29 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Voters who are in line by 8 p.m. can cast a ballot. A complete list of early voting centers is available online at vote.md.gov/vote2026.
There is still time to register to vote in the general election. Marylanders can register when they cast their vote during early voting or on Election Day (Tuesday, November 3.) Make sure to bring a document that proves where you live when you attempt to vote at your local polling place or early voting center.
Early voting is one of three options to cast your ballot in this election. The other two are mail-in voting and in-person voting on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3.
