All registered and eligible voters in Frederick County and across Maryland will receive ballots in the mail for the June 2 Presidential Primary Election. The Maryland State Board of Elections will mail the ballot to the address on file for every voter. Voters should receive their ballots by mid-May.

Voters must be registered with the Democratic or Republican parties to vote for President and most other contests in the June 2 Primary ElectionAny voter not registered with either of these parties will only be eligible to vote for Board of Education candidates. Voters can verify their registration status and party registration at https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterSearch. The deadline to update party affiliation, address or to register to vote is Wednesday May 27.

The primary election, originally scheduled for April, was postponed until June 2 because of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a State of Emergency on March 5. Public gatherings of 10 or more people are prohibited, therefore in-person voting must be limited. On March 17, the Governor issued a proclamation delaying the presidential primary election until June 2, 2020. The delay provided the State additional time to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and allowed the State Board of Elections to work with local boards of elections and election workers to implement public health safeguards for the primary election.
