Election Day - November 3, 2020
Dear Wicomico Democrat,
Governor Hogan has failed to show prudent leadership regarding our upcoming election. He has ordered all precinct level polling places to open on election day, and it is not clear that Maryland will have enough poll workers, PPE, and social distancing measures in place to carry out a safe and secure election.
Despite this lack of capacity, Hogan is falling in line with his GOP colleagues and is ignoring the advice of public health and election experts that vote-by-mail be utilized to keep voter participation high.
We strongly recommend that voters who can vote by mail/absentee do so.
Here’s what you need to know about the November 3, 2020 Presidential General Election:
Election Day will take place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 and will be conducted in person-- per Governor Larry Hogan’s recent (and irresponsible) decision-- with precinct level polling locations open on election day and various early voting locations open throughout Maryland.
The Maryland State Board of Elections (BOE) will automatically mail an absentee ballot application (not your actual ballot, as was done in the primary) to the address that they have on file for you. You may also request an absentee ballot online by October 27, 2020. You can check which address the BOE has on file for you here.
If you need to register to vote or update your current address, you must do so by Tuesday, October 13, 2020. Or you may exercise your right to “same day” register and vote during the early voting period and on election day. You can find further guidance on this process here.
If you are unable to vote by mail, you must vote in-person during the early vote period or on election day at your designated polling location in your jurisdiction.
Please use this handy list of resources to ensure that you can continue to exercise your right to vote:
