Early Voting Starts Thursday

October 23rd, 2024 by WCBC Radio

While many counties in Maryland are still struggling to fill vacant election judge positions, Allegany County is staffed and ready as early voting begins on Thursday morning.  Voters can cast early ballots at the County Office Complex on Kelly Road from 7am to 8pm daily.  Election Administrator Diane Loibel says that the election judge positions are filled and balanced across the Republican and Democrat parties, according to Maryland law – but it isn’t always easy to strike the balance…

“It’s harder – I’m not going to say it’s not harder to find Democrat judges because you know we’re predominantly a Republican county, it’s kind of like two to one with the Republicans over the Dems, but so far we’ve been lucky.”

Voters who prefer to vote on election day may vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.  On election day, polling places will be open for voting from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.  To avoid delays, voters should try to vote between the hours of 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.

 

Voters can review the sample ballot they received in the mail to help familiarize themselves with the candidates of the ballot style they are eligible to vote. They can also take their sample ballot to the polling place as a reference when they vote.
