Election Law - Statewide Voter Registration Application - Prepaid Postage
HB 624 requires that Maryland’s statewide voter registration application include a pre-stamped return envelope or envelope template addressed to the State Board of Elections. This change directly affects voters who submit registration forms by eliminating the need for them to purchase postage. The bill mandates that the application must include clear instructions about the prepaid postage and directions for attaching additional postage if needed. It amends Maryland’s Election Law (Section 3-202) to implement this requirement, effective June 1, 2025.
