Find Your Polling Place

Accessible Locations

Maryland voters who are elderly or disabled may apply for reassignment to an accessible polling place if their designated polling place is not accessible for the elderly or handicapped. The local board of elections will reassign the voter to a polling place that is accessible, where the voter may vote the ballot of his or her home precinct. 

Vote by Mail

You can request your mail-in ballot online. Voting by mail is safe, secure and free. You will not need a stamp to return your ballot—the envelope will already have postage on it. Voters simply need to fill out their ballot, sign the oath on the envelope, and place it back in the mail or drop it in a secure ballot drop box location. Make sure your ballot is postmarked on or before November 5. For questions, email the Voter Absentee Department at electionabsentee@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Ballot Drop Box Sites

If you would like to drop off your voted ballot at a physical location instead of mailing it, please make use of our secure voted ballot drop boxes. Ballot drop boxes are very secure. No one has access to the drop boxes except for trusted election officials. Ballots are picked up from the boxes every day by election officials. The drop boxes are not the property of the United States Postal Service.

Drop boxes are available 24 hours a day leading up to General Election Day—Tuesday, November 5. The boxes will be locked and will not accept ballots after 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5. Make sure that the return envelope for your ballot is sealed and that the oath is signed before returning it. Drop boxes will be available outside of the following locations.
