2022 Primary Election: same-day registration

2022 Primary Election turnout. The State Board's final unofficial same-day report, dated July 19, 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 primary election, 2,909 people registered and voted on the same day, 2,177 of them on election day, and 592 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).

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.
