A Maryland voter registration form can be used to register to vote by any state resident who is a US citizen, at least sixteen (16) years old, not mentally disabled, and has not been convicted of a felony or buying/selling votes. Although individuals who are sixteen years old can register, residents may only vote if they are 18 years old on election day. The voter registration application may also be completed online by following the link provided below. In order for an application to be accepted, it must be postmarked at least twenty-one (21) days before the next election day. If you are voting for the first time, you may be asked for a valid form of identification at your polling station.
