MD ballot drop boxes installed as vote-by-mail deadlines approach

The Maryland State Board of Elections completed the installation Wednesday of 286 ballot drop boxes across the state for the general election. Marylanders can use any drop box to cast their mail-in ballots, which may arrive in homes as early as next week. “What you see now is a huge shift towards mail-in voting,” Maryland’s State Administrator of Elections Jared DeMarinis told Capital News Service.
