For Immediate Release:  April 13, 2016 

SAVE TIME – VOTE EARLY

Montgomery County will open ten Early Voting Centers from April 14 to April 21, from  10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Any registered voter, or new Montgomery County resident, may cast a ballot at any one of these sites on the same voting equipment used on Election Day. Many voters find that early voting is more convenient than voting at their assigned polling place on Election Day.

Early Voting Centers are located at:

Activity Center at Bohrer Park, Gaithersburg

Damascus Community Recreation Center, Damascus

Executive Office Building, Rockville

Germantown Community Recreation Center, Germantown

Jane E. Lawton Community Recreation Center, Chevy Chase

Marilyn J. Praisner Community Recreation Center, Burtonsville

Mid-County Community Recreation Center, Silver Spring

Potomac Community Recreation Center, Potomac

Silver Spring Civic Building, Silver Spring

Wheaton Volunteer Rescue Squad Ballroom, Wheaton

For information on the specific locations of all Montgomery County Early Voting Centers, please visit our website at 777vote.org. To view more information during Early Voting hours of operation, such as wait times for each center - updated hourly during voting hours - you may visit  www.777vote.org or download our new mobile app at .montgomerycountymd.gov/elections.

Did you miss the voter registration deadline?  During Early Voting you may register to vote the same day you vote.  You must have a valid Maryland photo id and proof of residency to register.  Once you register, you will be issued a ballot.  This opportunity is not available on Election Day – if you’re not registered yet and would like to vote, visit an Early Voting Site between April 14 and 21.  You may not change your party affiliation at this time – this is only for new registrants.

For more information, call 240-777-VOTE, visit  www.777vote.org , the Maryland State Board of Elections’ website at  http://elections.maryland.gov, or follow the Montgomery County Board of Elections on Facebook or Twitter.

Your Time, Your Voice, Your Vote!
