Become a Voter Registration Distributor

Voter registration distributors offer people the opportunity to register to vote, distribute voter registration applications, assist people with completing voter registration applications, and return completed applications to the county election office.

To be a voter registration distributor, you must be 18 years of age or older. You will receive training on how to complete Maryland's voter registration application and ensure that the application is completed with accurate information concerning the State's identification requirements. At the conclusion of the training, you must sign and return an affidavit that indicates you will act according to the training and regulations and will receive a Voter Registration Distributor Card identifying you as an approved Voter Registration Distributor.

As a Voter Registration Distributor, you must advise each individual that he or she has the option to return the application personally to the Baltimore City Board of Elections office or permit you to return the application on the individual's behalf and must return completed voter registration applications promptly to the Baltimore City Board of Election's office. You may not receive compensation on a per registrant basis for voter registration activity.

If you are interested in serving as a Voter Registration Distributor, you must be individually certified by a representative of the Baltimore City Board of Elections.

  • In-person training (**held in our office) on Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 10am or 3pm
