VOTE BY MAIL DEADLINE NEARS FOR NOVEMBER 4 ELECTION
Voters have one week to request an application to vote by mail for the November 4 Gubernatorial General Election. The deadline for receipt of your completed application to vote by mail is October 28 at 8:00 p.m., or by 11:59 p.m. if faxed to 240-777-8560 or e-mailed to [email protected]. If you would prefer to print your ballot from the State Board of Elections’ website, your deadline is Friday, October 31, 2014, by 5:00 p.m., or by 11:59 p.m. if faxed or e-mailed.
The vote by mail application may be found online at the Board of Elections website at www.777vote.org or www.montgomerycountymd.gov/elections. Follow all instructions, and return the completed, signed application by mail, fax, or e-mail. Ballots will be mailed within approximately three business days.
Voters may also submit a written request, as long as it includes the following information: name, date of birth, Montgomery County address, the address to which you want your ballot sent (if it is different than your Montgomery County address), daytime telephone number, and signature. The absence of any of this information could result in a delay in processing the application.
If you wish to pick up a ballot in person, you may do so at the Board of Elections at 18753 N. Frederick Avenue, Suite 210 in Gaithersburg, at any time between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. through Election Day. The elections office will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The elections office is located at 18753 N. Frederick Avenue, Suite 210, Gaithersburg.
If you are a voter with a disability and need an accessible online ballot marking tool to vote independently, request an absentee ballot and ask that the ballot be provided via the State Board of Elections’ website.
