Deadline to submit an Election Judge Application: Monday, May 26, 2014
Applications are accepted year round; however the deadline to apply to work in a specific election is 21 business days prior to the election.

Deadline to Request an Absentee Ballot by mail: Monday, June 2, 2014
Election Judges are requested to vote by absentee ballot or during early voting for all elections in which they work. This is due in part to the fact that a limited number of positions are available in each precinct, meaning some judges may be assigned to serve outside their voting precinct. Absentee ballots can be mailed to the judge’s home address or voted in person at the Board of Elections prior to Election Day.
Deadline to Register to Vote: Tuesday, June 3, 2014
All Election Judges must be registered to vote in Maryland. Unregistered applicants should submit a Voter Registration Application (VRA) prior to or along with their Election Judge Application to be considered. Changes to name, address and/or party affiliation must be received by the registration deadline to be valid for the upcoming election.
Early Voting Dates: Saturday, June 14, 2014 to Thursday, June 19, 2014
Early voting starts on the 2nd Saturday before Election Day and runs for six days through the Thursday before the election. Montgomery County offers five early voting centers.
