Mail-In Ballot Reminders
The Baltimore City Board of Elections has mailed postcard reminders to voters who received a “Replacement” ballot. Voters are encouraged to complete and return the Replacement ballot, even if they previously mailed their original ballot. The Replacement ballot will replace the original ballot.
Voters may return their completed Replacement ballot in several ways:
- Place it in one of the 35 official drop box locations throughout Baltimore City.
- Return it by mail, ensuring it is postmarked by June 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Voters are encouraged to have their local post office date-stamp the ballot before mailing.
- Drop it off at a vote center or polling location on Election Day.
The Board strongly encourages voters to use one of the official drop boxes when possible.
Please note: Voters who choose to vote in person at an early voting center or polling place instead of returning their mail-in ballot will be required to vote by provisional ballot, which will be canvassed after Election Day. For this reason, voters who received a Replacement ballot are encouraged to return it.
Voters may track the status of their returned Replacement ballot by visiting https://www.baltimorecity.gov/boe and selecting “Voter Lookup/Track Your Ballot.”
In rare cases where a voter is unable to receive and return the Replacement ballot, their first returned mail-in ballot will be canvassed and counted, as long as it is the correct party ballot for the voter.
Registration Deadline
The deadline to register to vote or change party affiliation was June 2, 2026. Party affiliation changes will resume beginning July 7, 2026.
