Frequently Asked Questions
What seat are you running for and what does a Delegate do in Maryland?
I am running for the Maryland House of Delegates. Delegates serve in the legislative branch of state government and are responsible for introducing, debating, and voting on laws that impact education, healthcare, public safety, economic policy, and state spending. The House of Delegates works alongside the Maryland Senate and the Governor to pass the state budget, shape policy, and provide oversight of state agencies.
When is the election?
The Gubernatorial Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. In the primary election, voters select their party’s nominee for state and local offices. The winners of the primary move on to the General Election.
Official Maryland election schedule and info can be found here: Maryland State Board of Elections.
How can I register to vote in Maryland?
You can register online, by mail, or in person. The deadline to register for the Primary is generally 21 days before Election Day (around June 2, 2026) — but you can also register during Early Voting or on Election Day with proof of residency.

How do I request a mail-in ballot and what are the deadlines?
Maryland refers to absentee ballots as mail-in ballots, and ANY registered voter can request one. Your ballot can be emailed to you and you print or mail, or will be mailed to you directly to complete and mail or place in a drop box.
You can request a mail-in ballot online, by mail, by fax, or in person. You can visit the Baltimore City Board of Elections in person as well.

What are my options for voting in person?
Do I have to be a registered Democrat in order to vote for Chezia?
Yes. Maryland is a closed primary state, which means only registered Democrats can vote in the Democratic Primary. Make sure you’re a registered Democrat before the voter registration deadline. You can check deadlines and update your registration HERE
