The Maryland Board of Elections voted Wednesday to proceed with a plan to open around 80 voting centers for in-person early voting between Oct. 26 and Nov. 2 as a precaution against long lines on Election Day during a pandemic.
The centers will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Marylanders will be able to choose which center they go to, as long as it is in their county of residence.
The early voting centers will also be open on Election Day, which is Nov. 3. About 350 voting centers will be open statewide that day, according to the Board of Elections. Maryland residents will again be able to decide which center in their county they go to, instead of having an assigned voting center.
The Board of Elections also said it plans to make at least 127 ballot drop boxes available across the state.
