The 2018 Maryland Gubernatorial Primary Election on Tuesday, June 26 is less than two weeks away. Early voting opens June 14 and runs through June 21. There are 11 early voting locations in Prince George’s County, none of which are in Greenbelt. The closest early voting location is the College Park Community Center, at 5051 Pierce Avenue in College Park.
On Election Day, Greenbelt is split up into five precincts. Residents can find their polling location by typing in their address at vote411.org/. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As this is a primary election, only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in most of the races, and they must choose only from candidates running on their party’s ballot. The only exception is the Board of Education election, which is technically a non-partisan race, so Democrats, Republicans and those not affiliated with either party can vote for the same slate of candidates.
This primary election covers statewide offices, including governor and lieutenant governor, comptroller, attorney general, U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and state Senate and House of Delegates.
See the June 14 News Review for a rundown of each office on the ballot, and the candidates for each one.
