Reposted from Bickel Campaign: 17 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY: HOW TO REQUEST AND RETURN YOUR FREDERICK COUNTY MAIL-IN BALLOT

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Any registered Maryland voter can request a mail-in ballot.

You do not need an excuse and it takes less than 10 minutes.

Make your voice heard!

1. REQUEST YOUR BALLOT

Apply online using your Maryland driver’s license or MVA-issued ID:

https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/onlinemailin...

You can also submit a signed paper application or visit the Frederick County Board of Elections:

8490 Progress Drive, Suite 300

Frederick, MD 21701

Request deadlines:

• October 27 if you want your ballot mailed to you. Your request must be received by the deadline, not simply mailed.

• October 30 if you want an emailed link to download and print your ballot. You will need a printer.

• In-person requests remain available until 8 p.m. on November 3. Check office hours before visiting.

Application and instructions:

https://www.frederickcountymd.gov/8687/Mail-in-Voting

1. COMPLETE YOUR BALLOT

Read the instructions carefully and mark your choices with a black pen.

Sign the required voter oath on your return envelope. Do not sign the ballot itself. If you print your ballot at home, print and sign the accompanying oath and follow the envelope instructions.

1. RETURN YOUR BALLOT

• BY MAIL: It must be postmarked on or before November 3 and received by the Board of Elections by 10 a.m. on November 13. Mail it early. Putting it in a mailbox on Election Day does not guarantee that day’s postmark.

• BY DROP BOX: Place your sealed ballot envelope in an official ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on November 3.

• BY HAND: Deliver it to the Board of Elections by 8 p.m. on November 3.

You cannot return a completed ballot online, by email or by fax.

Is there a place to find comprehensive write-ups for the proposals on the ballot?

The League of Women’s Voters of Frederick has a great guide describing all the candidates and proposed amendments, as well as the arguments for and against those amendments.  https://assets.nationbuilder.com/lwvmaryland/pages/15592/attachments/original/1791400927/Frederick_County_2026_General_EN_rev.pdf
