Maryland hasn't picked a printer yet for November 3 election

The State Board of Elections (SBE) has not told voters about the schedule for printing and sending out mail-in ballots. As of August 19, the ballots cannot be printed until Republican convention nominates Trump and until smaller-party candidate petitions are counted/certified. SBE has not yet chosen the printer. Ballots styles are to be certified by August 31, the printing will start on September 3, and the mailing to voters will start by September 24 (5 days late under State law).

 

[NOTE: For voters who receive a mail-in ballot application in early September, they need to apply and mail in their ballot request, the ballot has to be mailed out, and then the voter has to mail in the ballot (or deliver it to a local board of elections office or drop box). This could require four successful mailings. Voters can speed up the process by going online to XXXX and requesting that an absentee ballot be mailed.]
