Anne Arundel candidates gear up for the November general election. Here’s what you need to know.

After a lengthy midterm primary in which some candidates had to wait more than a week to learn the results of their races, party nominees will campaign this month and next ahead of the general election to represent Anne Arundel County at the local, state and federal level. Candidates have about six weeks to crisscross the county raising money and winning over voters in the lead-up to the Nov. 8 election. Voters must register by Oct. 18 or at their polling place on Election Day with proper Maryland documentation. Residents hoping to vote by mail must request their mail-in ballots by Nov. 1 and have their ballots postmarked by Election Day or deposited in a dropbox by 8 p.m. that day. Early voting starts Oct. 27 and ends Nov. 3.
