What should I do if I have changed my address or my name since the last election?

You must notify the local Board of Elections where you currently live if there are any changes to your voter registration information. Changes in registration information are automatically sent to your local Board of Elections if you complete a change of address form at the MVA and do not indicate on that form that you do not want to change your voter registration information. You can also send changes on a voter registration application or in any other signed written notice.

If you do not receive a Voter Notification Card containing your new address and polling place information within three to four weeks, you should contact the local Board of Elections where you now live to ensure that your records are up-to-date.

What should I do if I move to another county within the State or across the Baltimore City line?

You should provide your new address to the local Board of Elections in your new jurisdiction.

If I am a U.S. citizen living overseas, may I register and vote in Maryland?

Yes. An overseas U.S. citizen, whose last residence address in this country was in Maryland, may register to vote, and may request an absentee ballot, using the Federal Post Card Application. The overseas citizen may vote in federal contests, but not in State and local contests. For registration by mail, either the Federal Post Card Application or a Maryland voter registration application must be postmarked at least 21 days before the election.
