Municipal Elections - Reporting of Information to the State Board of Elections - Requirements

SB 848 requires Maryland municipalities to submit specific election information to the State Board of Elections by set deadlines. Municipalities must provide candidate qualification requirements 6 months before candidate filing, then submit a list of qualified candidates and voting procedures/locations (including how/where to vote) one week after filing closes. The State Board must immediately post all submitted information on its website upon receipt. This bill directly affects all Maryland municipalities holding elections and aims to increase voter access to timely election details.
