Early Voting Starts Feb. 26 In Special Election For PG County Executive, Council Seat

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Starting Wednesday, eligible residnets can vote in Prince George's County's special primary election to choose the next county executive and a District 5 county council representative.

The special election will find candidates who will vie to fill the last two years of former Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ seat after her election to the U.S. Senate in November. County Council Chair Jolene Ivey recently won a special election to an at-large county council seat and withdrew from the campaign for District 5; therefore, her seat also needs to be filled.

The Prince George's County Board of Elections posted on its website that if a voter has mailed or delivered a ballot voting for a candidate who has suspended a campaign, then the ballot has been cast and cannot be retracted.

The primary will be held March 4, where voters will choose candidates for both county executive and the Council District 5 vacant seat. The primary winners will face off in a special general election June 3.

Early voting for the primary will be held from:

• Feb. 26 to March 1 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• March 2 from noon to 6 p.m.
• March 3 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Polls will be open March 4 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters can cast their ballot at any of the nine voting centers during early voting and on Election Day. Ballot drop boxes will be available until March 4. The locations can be found online.
