MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Maryland primary elections are Tuesday, July 19, and races for Montgomery County Board of Education are on the ballot.

Voters can see which districts they live in by using this tool. That resource also tells Marylanders their:

• Ballot dropbox locations
• Early voting centers
• Election day polling place
• Registration status
• Party affiliation
• Current state and federal representatives

Election day polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19. Any mail-in ballots for the primaries must be postmarked or placed in the appropriate box by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19.

In Montgomery County, a Board of Education district means a geographic area in which an elected member of the Board must live. In Montgomery County, there are five district members and two at-large members of the board. However, all board members are elected by the county as a whole.

The student member of the board is elected by all Montgomery County Public Schools secondary students.

When Will The Results Be Certified?

The Maryland State Board of Elections expects to certify the final results during the week of Aug. 8. Officials will announce the unofficial early voting and election day results on July 19, but they still have to count the mail-in, dropbox and provisional ballots.

State law says these tallies must start and end on specific dates after election day. That means the final and official results will come a few weeks after voters hit the polls.

Here are the people who filed for candidacy with the Montgomery County Board of Education.
