No Electioneering Zone Guide Maps Available

The Charles County Board of Elections is responsible for the establishment of No Electioneering Zones at each precinct polling location, pursuant to Maryland State Law. The boundaries should be clearly marked with signs that contain the words "No Electioneering Beyond this Point." The distance guidelines prohibit "electioneering" within 100 feet of the polls. Exit pollsters may be within the 100 feet of the "No Electioneering" boundary because they are not engaged in electioneering. Exit pollsters should not impede voter flow. Campaign signs may be displayed at polling locations outside the "No Electioneering" boundary at 5:00 PM today, Monday, 13 May, 2024. Candidates must remove signs from polling sites by 8:00 AM the next day after the closure of the site, Wednesday, 14 May, 2024. Political signs at all other locations must be removed in compliance with County sign regulations.

No Electioneering Zone Guides for each precinct in Charles county are available to view and/or download below. Please refer to these guides before installing campaign signage at a precinct.

It is important to remember... Maryland voters who have requested a Mail-In ballot can expect to receive their ballot beginning near the end of September and that Mail-In ballots must be postmarked on or by November 5, or placed in a designated drop box by 8 p.m. on November 5, 2024.

If you request a Mail-In ballot, but then decide to vote in person, you will have to vote a Provisional ballot when you get to the polling location, because records will indicate that you have already requested a ballot.
