Although a 16-year-old can register to vote, he or she cannot vote in an election unless he or she will be 18 at the time of the next general election (i.e., 17-year-olds are permitted to vote in primary elections, so long as they'll be 18 by the time of the corresponding general election). Maryland allows same-day voter registration during the early voting period and on Election Day. Voters may register online, by mail, or in person at one of the following locations: Local board of elections The State Board of Elections Local Department of Health office Maryland Department of Human Services local offices Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) offices Local Area Agency on Aging offices MTA Paratransit Certification Office All public institutions of higher education Recruitment offices of the U.S. Armed Forces Marriage license offices Offices for students with disabilities at all Maryland colleges and universities Automatic registration Maryland automatically registers eligible individuals to vote through the Motor Vehicle Administration.
