Nov 3, 2026 general election · Governor

Phones at the polls: Maryland regulations prohibit electronic communication devices, including cameras and cellphones, in the polling place (COMAR 33.07.04.02). You may not be able to look things up on your phone while you vote, so consider printing a cheat sheet with the Print my ballot button on any race or county page. Paper notes are generally allowed; ask your election office if unsure. Source: NCSL, Secrecy of the Ballot and Ballot Selfies (accessed Oct 20, 2026)
