How Do I Change My Address, Name, Party Affiliation, Or Update My Record?

As a registered voter you are obligated to keep your voter registration records current. All changes must be in writing. All changes can be made at any time when the books for registration are open. The registration books are closed on the twenty-fourth day preceding an Election and reopen on the eleventh day following that election. (§ 3-302 of the Registration and Election Laws of Maryland.)

Registration is permanent as long as you keep your registration records current in the jurisdiction in which you reside. A Voter Registration Card will be mailed to you after the Board of Elections has received and processed your application or any changes to your name, address, or party affiliation.

This card will reflect your Ward and Precinct, Congressional, Legislative, and Council Districts, and a polling location. To receive a duplicate card, you may request one by visiting the State of Maryland's website's Voter Lookup page and request a duplicate voter registration card.  If you choose to come into the office to pick up a duplicate voters card, you must bring in a current ID and arrive between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm.

How do I update my name and address?

You can use Maryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR) to update your name and address or you can notify the local board of elections where you currently live if your voter registration information has changed. If you complete a change of address form at the MVA, this information will be sent to your local board of elections for processing, unless you indicate that you do not want to change your voter registration information. You can also send changes on a voter registration application or on any signed written notice.

If you do not receive a Voter Notification Card with your updated information three weeks after you submit information, you should contact the local board of elections where you now live to ensure that your records are up-to-date. You can also verify whether the local board of elections has your new information by visiting our voter service website.

What should I do if I move to another county within the State or to Baltimore City?

You can use Maryland's Online Voter Registration System (OLVR) or immediately provide your new address to the local board of elections in your new jurisdiction.
