MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Early voting in Montgomery County for the 2022 gubernatorial primary election will be offered at 14 early voting centers from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. July 7 through July 14, including Saturday and Sunday.

Anyone registered to vote can vote during early voting. Anyone eligible to register to vote can also vote during early voting. Registered voters have always been able to vote during early voting, but now individuals who are eligible but not yet registered can register and vote.
