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.
