Primary elections are held for party voters to determine the most desired candidates. For instance, only registered Democrats or Republicans can vote in primaries unless opened. Maryland has a closed primary.
Generally, you must be registered with either the Democratic or Republican Party to vote in the primary election. If there are non-partisan offices that are elected in a primary election (i.e., school board), any voter can vote for these offices. Contact your local board of elections.
Ballot Status
Qualifications for Filing Candidacy
