Do you have to register every time you vote? I have received a sample ballot in the mail. Does it mean I am registered?

You might need to change your registration if you moved since the last election. You can double check your registration status here

Super important to check your voter registration status. You don't want to show up only to be denied.

Step 1: Check your voter status (link in comment above)

Step 2: If you find you're not registered, here are the deadlines.

Step 3: If you are not yet registered… You can still register to vote IN PERSON up through Election Day:

> In person registration deadline: Tuesday, November 8, 2022

In addition to going to a polling place on Election Day and registering there, I believe this means you can go to an early polling location and register there. (although you should probably check with someone qualified)

Find your polling place here

If you are going to try to register at an early polling location, PLEASE NOTE early polling places are different than the polling place you would go to on Election Day → → → Get a list of early polling locations here

Good luck and happy voting!

If you have received a sample ballot at your address with your name on it, you are registered to vote.

Also: Maryland doesn't remove inactive names from the voter registry. I bought my house in 2011 and still get sample ballots for one of the last tenants who lived here.
