It's an election year!! Not a newsflash, I know.... but - hard to believe though it is - the Maryland polls open for the first time this election cycle in barely two months.
Yup - early voting for the primary begins on April 14. Primary day itself is April 26. Really, that means it will be here before you blink twice.
First things first. Are you registered to vote? Not sure? Have you recently moved and don't know if you changed your address with the Board of Elections?
DID YOU KNOW that in Maryland, you can register to vote at age 16, and anyone who is age 18 as of November 8, 2016 (date of the General Election) can vote in the ENTIRE election cycle? That means as long as you are 18 as of Nov. 8, you can vote in the Primary election as well as the General Election.... but only if you register!!
Here's a link to the Board of Elections website --- you can check your voter registration status, find out your election districts, you can even register to vote online. You have until April 8 to get registered and make sure your voter registration is up-to-date if you want to vote in the Primary:
