Maryland’s 2022 primary elections: How to vote, candidates and more

Early voting begins in Maryland’s primary elections on Thursday. Residents across the state will have a chance to weigh in on several races, including a candidate to replace term-limited Gov. Larry Hogan (R). Maryland’s eight congressional districts are on the primary ballot this year, as well as the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who is running for reelection. There are also statewide and local elections, which vary by jurisdiction. Anyone eager to vote early may do so in-person between 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. through July 14. A full list of early-voting centers is available at elections.maryland.gov.
