2026 General Election: same-day registration

2026 General Election turnout. From the State Board's unofficial same-day reports, through October 25, 2026.

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). Through October 25, 2026, 957 people had registered and voted on the same day and 833 registered voters had 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).

"First 4 early-voting days" counts each election's new registrants and address changes over its own first 4 days of early voting, so the running election lines up with the finished ones.

Party is the one the voter registered with or already had.

A county the board's sheet leaves out had no same-day registrations or address changes, and shows zero.

The board prints each district county by county; a district's figures are its counties' rows summed.

The board also publishes these counts by legislative and councilmanic district and by voting location; all six grains are downloadable under Data.
