Maryland State Board of Elections taps longtime employee Jared DeMarinis as administrator

The Maryland State Board of Elections hired a new elections administrator Thursday, selecting a longtime employee for the top job. Jared DeMarinis was chosen by a unanimous vote during a brief virtual meeting of the board. DeMarinis, who has worked as the director of the board’s candidacy and campaign finance division, will face a confirmation hearing before the Maryland State Senate next session before he can take on the role in a permanent capacity.
