Transcript: Welcome to the Online Ballot Delivery System

Welcome to the Maryland State Board of Elections Online Ballot Delivery System.

This system allows voters who requested web delivery ballots to access and print their mail-in ballot from almost anywhere.

Before you begin, make sure you have the right equipment. You'll need a computer and a printer with paper. We do not recommend using a mobile device.

Be sure to give yourself enough time. Unexpected issues can come up, so download your ballot early and seek assistance if needed.

There are two ways to complete your ballot. You can print a blank ballot and mark it by hand, or you can use the online ballot marking tool.

If you use the ballot marking tool, remember to download and print your ballot after making your selections. Your selections will not be saved in the system.

Each ballot link is unique to the voter. Be sure to use the email sent directly to you, and do not share your link with others.

After completing your ballot, print it, place it in an envelope, and return it by mail to your local board of elections.

Ballots cannot be returned by email.

You may also return your ballot in person at your local election office, an early voting center, a polling place, or a ballot drop box.

Once your ballot has been returned, you can track its status using the voter lookup tool. Please allow up to four business days for updates to appear.

To access this tool, visit our website, select "Voting," then "Voter Services," and choose "Look Up Your Voter Info."

Finally, remember your deadlines. Your ballot must be postmarked or returned by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.

Because mail is not always postmarked the same day, we recommend returning your ballot early or requesting a hand-stamped postmark at the post office.

If you have questions, contact your local election office or email us at [email protected].
