There are a few changes that all voters need to know about since the last election. The changes affect the following:
- Polling Places
- Absentee Ballot
- Emergency Ballot
A number of the locations to vote, your polling place, have changed since the elections four years ago. To view the new 2017 Annapolis Polling Place List, go to http://bit.ly/2vb408x. All polling locations are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the date of the election for both the primary and the general election.
A registered voter may vote by absentee ballot without a specific reason, which is a change from past years. The voter must apply for an absentee ballot as provided in Chapter 4.28 of the Annapolis City Code and file the application in the office of the City of Annapolis Board of Supervisors of Elections by specific dates and times.
