When will I know the results of this year’s midterm elections?

The timing of election results depends on how many Marylanders cast mail-in ballots this year, but the results are expected to arrive faster than they did in July.

A recent court decision has allowed Maryland to begin counting mail-in ballots before election day. This should enable the results to be released much earlier than in the past, possibly as soon as November 9.
