Maryland Board of Elections Places Ballot Box in The Commons
Box Will Be Available for Primary and General Elections

Dear UMBC Community,
Voting will be easier than ever for the UMBC community for the 2022 gubernatorial election. For the first time, the Maryland Board of Elections has placed an official ballot dropoff box on the UMBC campus. Community members registered to vote anywhere in Maryland can cast their mail-in ballots for the primary and general elections by placing their completed ballots in the box, which is located next to the Campus Information Center in The Commons lobby. For the primary election, the Maryland Board of Elections will collect ballots from the box daily through Tuesday, July 19. The Maryland Board of Elections will return the box in late September or early October for the general election.
The placement of the ballot dropoff box on campus reflects UMBC's strong record of engagement in previous elections, and is the result of advocacy and planning by the Center for Democracy and Civic Life, Commons Operations, the Office of Institutional Advancement, the Student Government Association, and other campus leaders. We are grateful to the Maryland Board of Elections for extending this convenience to members of our community.
