Bill > SB449

This bill provides an exception to the voter registration deadline to allow an individual to appear at their county's precinct polling place on Election Day and apply to register to vote or change their voter registration address. The applicant must provide proof of residency, such as a Maryland driver's license or identification card with the current address, or an official document with the applicant's name and current address. The election judge will verify the applicant's residence address and determine if they are qualified to become a registered voter. If so, the judge will issue the voter a regular ballot. If the voter is a resident of the county but not the precinct, they will be issued a provisional ballot. The State Board is required to adopt regulations and procedures for the administration of this Election Day voter registration process.
