Going on vacation? Vote early or by mail

Sunscreen? Check.
Flip flops? Check.
Vote? Add that to your summer plans. 

Remember, there's a gubernatorial primary election July 19. If you will be away on election day, you may vote early or by mail — but not both!

• Vote at any early voting center July 7-14. Remember: If you decide to vote early, you cannot vote by mail, according to the Prince George's County Board of Elections.
• Or request a mail-in ballot by July 12 to participate in the primary election. If you miss that deadline and still want to vote via mail-in ballot, pick up your ballot at the Prince George's County Board of Elections and return it then or at a ballot drop-box.
• To register to vote or to update your voter registration information, go in person during early voting or on election day. Check the Maryland State Board of Elections for additional voter information.
