2026 Primary Election: same-day registration

2026 Primary Election turnout. The State Board's final unofficial same-day report, dated June 23, 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). In the 2026 primary election, 2,179 people registered and voted on the same day, 1,552 of them on election day, and 617 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 sheets print no election-day column for address changes.

Party is the one the voter registered with or already had. The board's by-party sheet counts 17 fewer new registrants than its by-county sheet, and nothing printed in either says why; the other tables on this page follow the county sheet.

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.
