Your Vote. Your Power.
Tuesday, June 23, 2026. Everything you need to cast your ballot.
Three dates. That's all you need to remember.
- Register by June 2. You can register or update your address online. Takes a few minutes.
- Missed the deadline? You can still register in person during early voting (June 11-18) at any Early Voting Center in your county.
- This is a closed primary. You must be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. Already registered Democrat? You're good.
Registered Republican or Independent? You can switch.
Maryland lets you change your party affiliation online in about two minutes. Switch to Democrat before June 2 and you can vote in the primary. You can always switch back after. No one will call you about it.
