Take Your Child to Vote Day

The tradition that actually matters.

This June, bring your kids to the polls. Show them where community decisions get made. Show them what it looks like when their family shows up.

Make it a family day

Pass the tradition down — one election at a time.

Do you have kids?

It started generations ago.

Dominique's great-grandparents drove their neighbors to the polls in North Carolina — every election day, without being asked. That tradition lives in this campaign.

The primary is where it counts.

In Maryland's closed primary, the candidates on your November ballot are decided in June. Bringing your child means showing them the moment that actually matters.

One day. One tradition. Forever.

Kids who go to the polls remember it. Make June the day your family shows up together.

Great-grandparents drove them there.

Dominique is running.

District 6 is next.

Not a politician. A lifelong public servant.

In either case, bring a document that proves where you live. This document can be:

  • your MVA-issued license, permit, or ID card
  • change of address card
  • your paycheck
  • bank statement
  • utility bill
  • other government document with your name and new address

You can update your address during early voting or on election day. Go to the polling place assigned for your new address. At your polling place, you will provide your new address, vote a provisional ballot, and election officials will update your address and count your provisional ballot.

The deadline is June 23, 2026 by 8:00 PM. Please visit your local board of elections' website for hours of operation.

Submitting Your Mail-In Ballot

Your mail-in ballot must be mailed, dropped in a ballot drop box location, or taken to a polling place, early voting center, or local board by 8:00 PM on Election Day.

If you received your ballot by email, that email will contain a link to print and mail your ballot. You will need to provide your own envelope and postage to return the printed and marked ballot.

First Class Mail — U.S. Post Office

We are urging all Marylanders to return their ballots as soon as possible due to potential delays with the U.S. Postal Service.

Your ballot must be postmarked on or before each election day to be counted. Putting your ballot in a mailbox on election day does not mean it is postmarked that day.

Your mailed ballot comes with a postage-paid return envelope, so submitting your ballot by mail is free.

Ballot Drop Boxes

Marylanders can use a ballot drop box to return their mail-in ballot. Ballot drop boxes will be open until 8:00 PM.
