GENERAL ELECTION RETURNS
AVAILABLE ON COUNTY WEBSITE

Up-to-the moment election results for the November 5 General Election will be accessible on the Montgomery County home page to anyone with Internet access.

The election returns will be available after the polls close at 8 p.m., and the tabulating of votes begins. Citizens who do not have Internet access are invited to visit the Council Office Building, 100 Maryland Avenue, Rockville, where election results will be displayed in the third floor hearing room as the votes are counted.

The Montgomery County home page can be found at www.co.mo.md.us, where an election-related logo will provide a link directly to the Board of Elections return page, which will also offer links to the Prince George’s County, state, and national election returns. The direct link to the Board of Elections returns page is www.777vote.org/electionresults/elec_results.html.

The Board of Elections home page, www.777vote.org, has links to a list of all candidates and questions on the Montgomery County ballot, polling places, absentee voting information, and district maps, as well as a link to the Maryland State Board of Elections for a listing of candidates for other state and federal offices.
