What do I need to bring to vote?

Most Maryland voters do not need to show photo ID to vote; however:

  • If you are voting for the first time and haven’t previously provided ID, you may be asked for identification (e.g., driver’s license, state ID, utility bill, or similar document with your name and address).
  • Even when not required, bringing ID can make check-in faster.  

When you arrive at the polls, election workers will guide you through the process.

I’m voting for the first time—what should I know?

If this is your first time voting:

  • You can register or update your registration during early voting or on Election Day at your polling place (same-day registration).
  • Ask poll workers for help—they’re there to assist you.
  • Take your time to review your ballot before voting.

Your participation strengthens our community and reflects your voice in local decisions.
