Election Law - Absentee Ballots - Notice of Timely Receipt
Hearing (House)
Summary
If a federal court decision changes how quickly absentee ballots with federal contests must be received, Maryland’s State Administrator of Elections must inform voters of both the new federal deadline and the existing state deadline. The notice must urge voters to mail ballots early or use drop boxes, and it must be delivered through several channels. The measure is temporary, lasting six months after it takes effect in June 2026.
