2022 General Election: same-day registration
2022 General Election turnout. The State Board's final unofficial same-day report, dated November 8, 2022.
Maryland lets an eligible resident register and vote on the same day at an early-voting center and, since a 2018 constitutional amendment, at their polling place on election day. A registered voter who has moved can also update their address and vote. The State Board's same-day reports count both groups: new registrants and address changes (voters already registered who changed their address). In the 2022 general election, 13,898 people registered and voted on the same day, 11,456 of them on election day, and 1,730 registered voters changed their address and voted.
These are the board's unofficial counts, printed "Unofficial" on every sheet. No certified report counts same-day registration, so this page shows them for past elections too. The sheets say they leave out mail-in voters, and that provisional applications filled in by hand are not included (those printed from the electronic pollbooks are).
