Editor’s Note: The below info on the mail-in ballot deadline is incorrect. Mail-in ballots must have been postmarked BY July 19, 2022, and MUST be received by officials no later than July 29, 2022, at 10 am in order to be counted.


Prince Frederick, MD- Maryland held its Gubernational Primary Lection on July 19, 2022, three months behind schedule due to a court-imposed redistricting map after General Assembly Democrats were found to have gerrymandered it.

Early voting began on July 7 and continued until July 14, 2022, with all those votes and election day votes “unofficially” tallied. In early June 2022, Governor Larry Hogan vetoed emergency legislation that would have allowed local officials to begin opening and counting mail-in ballots up to eight days before the election.

The reason for the veto, Hogan officials said, was that the emergency legislation lacked improving basic election security for things like ballot collection and signature verifications. With that legislation vetoed, ballots could not be opened until Thursday, July 21, 2022. Mail-in ballots are still being accepted until July 29, 2022. The deadline for mail-in ballots was July 19, 2022, but must be received by officials no later than July 29, 2022, at 10 am. in order to be counted. So although the first round of counting mail-in ballots has occurred, there will be at least one more round.

The state will certify Election results on or about August 9, 2022, with the General Election scheduled for November 8, 2022. In Calvert County, eight of the races are decided at the Primary level, as there are no challengers from the opposing party.

Below are the “unofficial” results for Calvert County, including the first round of mail-in vote ballot counts:
