Make a Voting Plan

1

Register to Vote

Use Towson University’s voter engagement portal to register to vote, update your voter registration information and sign up for election deadline reminders.   

Maryland (MD) voters can also register to vote during early voting or on election day. Go to an early voting center in the county where you live during early voting, or go to your assigned election day polling place and bring a document that proves where you live.

Decide How to Cast Your Vote

Voting laws differ from state to state. To learn how to vote in your state, use TU’s voter registration portal. The portal provides information about voting by mail or voting in person. Voters with disabilities can consult these Accessibility Voter Resources (PDF) to help them prepare to cast their vote.

In states that offer early voting, decide whether to vote early or on election day.  

Maryland early voting for the midterm primary election is from June 18 – June 25, 2026. You can vote at any early voting location in the county you are registered.   

Maryland voters can request a mail-in ballot for the midterm primary election through June 26, 2026. If you are an MD voter and vote by mail, you can use TU's on-campus ballot drop-box at South Campus Pavilion from early voting through election day.  

Maryland voters with disabilities can get ready to vote through accessible voting resources provided by Disability Rights Maryland and the State Board of Elections.

Learn What’s on Your Ballot

Research candidates and questions on your ballot in advance so you can know how you want to vote before showing up to the polls. Ballotpedia and guides.vote provide nonpartisan information on candidate stances and ballot measures.  

MD voters can look up a sample ballot prior to voting.
