Vote by Drop Box
If you’d rather not mail your ballot, you can drop it off at drop boxes that will be installed across the state’s counties, just as they were for the June primary. (Locations haven’t yet been announced for Montgomery and Prince George’s counties; look for addresses in your mail-in ballot package.) But in Montgomery County, one drop box will be installed at the county Board of Elections. Officials promise that the boxes will be emptied daily — rain or shine, including Sundays — by bipartisan county staff members. The deadline to drop off ballots is 8 p.m. on Election Day, and if you’d rather not drop it off yourself, you can have someone else do it for you.
