Proposed Polling Location Changes

The Anne Arundel County Board of Elections will consider changes to its Polling Place Plan during the January 8, 2026, Regular Board Meeting at 9:00 am. The Maryland State Board of Elections, on December 4, 2025, did not approve the originally submitted Polling Place Plan portion of the Election Plan (Early Voting and Drop Box locations were approved), requiring the submission of a new Polling Place Plan. These changes revise the initial polling place plan and amend the original proposal to return most precincts to their 2024 polling place locations. The meeting is open to the public and will be held at the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections.
