Harford County Primary Voter Guide: What’s On The June 23 Ballot

Voters on June 23 will whittle down the pool of candidates at the primary election. Here's who is running.

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Voters will head to the polls later this month to narrow down the candidate pool for many officers at the local level in Harford County, and at the state and federal levels in Maryland.

Maryland holds closed primary elections in which registered voters can cast ballots for their party's primary. Registered unaffiliated voters will not be able to vote in primary elections, but can vote in any nonpartisan primary election in their jurisdiction, such as a primary election to select candidates for the board of education.

Any registered voter can vote in the primary. Residents who are not registered to vote can learn more about registering to vote here.
