BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Primary day is June 23, and residents will be voting for candidates running in local, state and congressional races.

Maryland's race for governor and lieutenant governor pits incumbents Wes Moore and Aruna Miller against fellow Democrats Eric Felber and LaTrece Hawkins Lytes.

Nine republicans, including two who switched parties to run in the GOP primary — Dan Cox and Ed Hale — are running against the Moore-Miller front.

Voters will also be making selections for all 188 members of the Maryland General Assembly and the eight U.S. House of Representatives seats.

On the congressional side, a closely watched battle is ongoing for the 6th District between incumbent April McClain Delaney and challenger David Trone, who held the district seat before Delaney.

The key county race to watch out for in the 2026 election cycle is that of the county executive, which includes three councilmembers — Pat Young, Izzy Patoka and Julian Jones — who are running for the post.

Aside from every district being up for grabs, voters will also get the opportunity to make selections for seven of the county's Board of Education seats.

Same-day registration will be available to residents who bring a valid Maryland driver's license, learner's permit, or state ID card. A change of address card, paycheck, bank statement, or utility bill can also be used to confirm one's proof of residence.

To vote in either the Democratic or Republican Party primaries, residents must be registered with that party. Adjustments to party affiliation cannot be made past the June 2 deadline.

Come Election Day, residents must vote at their assigned polling place. If not, they will be required to vote by provisional ballot, according to the Board of Elections.

Residents can use an online tool provided by the state to find their designated voting district and polling station.
