Maryland filing deadline report: 32 candidates file for 4 state executive positions
February 26, 2014
Annapolis, Maryland: Four state executive positions are up for election in 2014 in the state of Maryland. On February 25, the filing period for candidates came to a close. The primary election is scheduled for June 24, 2014. A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Maryland utilizes a closed primary system. Although parties may hold open primaries, parties generally permit only registered party members to vote in their primaries.[1][2]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Incumbent Governor of Maryland Martin O'Malley is prevented by term limits from seeking a third consecutive term in office. Current incumbent Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown officially launched his 2014 gubernatorial campaign on May 10, 2013. If he wins, Brown will be the first lieutenant governor to be elected governor since the lieutenant governor's office was created in 1970, as well as Maryland's first African-American governor.[3][4] Although eligible for re-election, current Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler is also seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014.[5] Current Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot is the only incumbent seeking re-election.[6]
