Ahead of Election Day, more than one and a half million Marylanders have already registered their choices through early and mail-in voting.
Eight days of early in-person voting ended on Thursday with 994,663 people casting their votes at early voting centers, about 7,600 more than in 2020.
As of Sunday evening, the State Board of Elections reported receiving more than 646,000 mail-in ballots, about 42% of the total received in all of 2020, when the general election was months into the COVID-19 pandemic and Maryland automatically sent registered voters applications for mail-in ballots. Mail-in voters have until 8 p.m. Tuesday to postmark their ballot or place it in a dropbox.
The charts below track ballots received each way. The first section shows the share of early votes and received mail-in ballots by jurisdiction and for the entire state as a percentage of 2020 overall turnout. The second section compares the cumulative number of early votes in person through each day of early voting in 2020 and 2024.
