Early voting in Maryland begins Thursday

Strictly speaking, voting has been going on for weeks now for those Marylanders who requested and returned their mail-in ballots, but the physical act of voting — going to a place and standing in front of a machine to cast a ballot — begins Thursday.

That’s when the week of early voting for the 2024 presidential election begins in Maryland.

Early voting centers open at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 8 p.m. every day through Oct. 31 for people who prefer to vote in person but don’t want to wait until Election Day, Nov. 5. Voters can cast a ballot in person at one of 97 early voting centers statewide. At least one center is located in all 23 counties and the city of Baltimore.

And there are potentially hundreds of thousands of voters who are likely to take advantage of early voting, according to one poll.
