How to get a mail-in ballot for the November election
As an alternative to in-person voting at a polling center, Maryland voters can request a mail-in or absentee ballot. Any registered voter can request one, and no reason is needed.
During the June 1st City Council meeting, the City of Gaithersburg discussed a proposed amendment that would potentially change the voting age from 18 to 16 in city elections.
