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.
La Plata, MD- Early voting and Gubernational Primary Election Day has passed, and Charles County residents are waiting for mail-in voting ballots to be counted. Early voting began on July 7, 2022, and ended on July 14, 2022. These votes were tallied on election night and as were the votes cast on Election Day.
This election was three months late. In a year of constitutionally mandated redistricting, the courts forced the Maryland General Assembly to redraw the maps after they were found to be severely gerrymandered. This forced Maryland to move its Primary election date to July 19, 2022. Then in early June, Governor Larry Hogan(R), finishing his last term as Governor, vetoed emergency legislation that would have allowed local officials to begin counting mail-in ballots eight days before election day.
The veto, officials said, was because it lacked improvements to basic election security, such as signature verification and ballot collection.
With this veto, mail-in ballots could not be opened until July 21, 2022, and are still being accepted as long as they are postmarked by July 29, 2022 July 19, 2022, and received no later than July 29, 2022, at 10 am. Officials have finished the first round of ballot counting. The state will certify the election results on or about August 9, 2022.
The Maryland Gubernatorial General Election is on November 8, 2022. In Charles County, eleven of the races will be decided at the Primary election level due to no challenger from an opposing party.
The following election results are unofficial and updated as of July 25, 2022, at 8 am.
