ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Maryland's June 2 primary election will be conducted predominantly by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, there still will be in-person voting centers set up for those who did not obtain or mail in a ballot by the May 27 deadline.

Voters who are registered Republicans or Democrats can cast their vote in that party's primary elections for president, delegates to the nominating conventions, the U.S. House of Representatives and Judge of the Circuit Court. Those who aren't affiliated with one of the major political parties can only cast a ballot in the board of education contests.
