Maryland HB156 allows unaffiliated voters to affiliate with a political party during early voting in primary elections.

Maryland HB156 modifies election law to allow unaffiliated voters to affiliate with a political party during early voting before a primary election. Voters can make this change in person at an early voting center in their county of residence. If the voter is a resident of the county, the election judge will issue a voter authority card, have the voter sign it, and provide a provisional ballot for the appropriate political party. The bill also outlines procedures for processing party affiliation changes and provisional ballots.
