Elections - Local Boards of Elections - Open Meeting Requirements (Local Boards of Elections Transparency Act)

SB 337 requires Maryland's local election boards and canvassing boards to publicly post meeting agendas, summaries of materials, and public testimony online at least 48 hours before meetings (or as soon as possible in emergencies). It mandates live video streaming of meetings (excluding off-site events, site visits, or inspections) and requires maintaining unedited video archives for five years. These provisions directly affect local election administration bodies across Maryland, aiming to increase transparency in election processes by making meeting details and proceedings more accessible to the public.
