Maryland’s top election official said ballot applications for the November general election will be mailed to eligible residents starting Aug. 24, following sharp criticism from Gov. Larry Hogan on the delay.
Hogan sent Lamone a letter on Monday in which he inquired about a delay in voters receiving their ballot applications. He expressed concern about a repeat of the state’s June primary, which he called an “unmitigated disaster” after thousands of ballots went to the wrong address, were received late or not at all.
Linda Lamone, administrator for the state’s elections board, said in a letter responding to Hogan that the first mailings were set to go out Aug. 24 and will continue until all ballots are on their way.
“The final mailing is expected to be Aug. 28 but no later than Aug. 31,” Lamone wrote.
