Summary

The bill requires each Maryland municipality to send the State Board of Elections information about who can run, who is qualified, and where and how to vote for municipal elections. The State Board must publish that data on its website as soon as it receives it, and also post certified election results promptly. This increases transparency for voters and standardizes reporting across the state.
