Baltimore Primary Election Guide 2018

BALTIMORE, MD — The primary for the 2018 election is Tuesday, June 26. Here is a guide to polling places, candidates and more to get prepped for primary day in Baltimore.

Polls are open on primary day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. That is on Tuesday, June 26.

The Board of Elections recommends voting between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid delays at the polls.

There were two snafus at polling places in Baltimore on election day. Polls were forced to close at Patapsco Elementary School in the afternoon, with voters directed to another school nearby in Cherry Hill, due to reported fleas and mice. In north Baltimore, polls opened late because essential equipment was locked in a room, so three precincts were staying open until 9 p.m.
