2026 Elections

Maryland’s primary elections are coming up! Here are some important dates to keep in mind ahead of our primary election:

Last Day to Request Mail-In Ballot: Tuesday, June 16
Primary Election Day: Tuesday, June 23

For AFSCME Members

As AFSCME members, it’s important we get involved in our elections because our elected officials have a huge impact on our work. No other union gets to vote for who their boss is – and we must stand together and make our votes count for pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot who will fight for working Marylanders!

To see who we’ve endorsed in your district, request an absentee ballot, and more, visit afscme.org/vote.
