MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND MARYLAND REPUBLICAN PARTY JOIN FORCES

Party Chairs Susan W. Turnbull and Audrey E. Scott Work Together to Educate Voters about Early Voting

Annapolis, MD - The Maryland Democratic Party and the Maryland Republican Party held a joint press conference on Early Voting.

Party Chairs Susan W. Turnbull and Audrey E. Scott both gave remarks and answered questions about Early Voting for this year's Primary and General Elections.

The Party Chairs had this to say in a joint statement:

"As the Chairs of our respective State Parties, we feel strongly that we have a responsibility to educate voters in Maryland about Early Voting. For the first time in Maryland, voters will have more control over when and where they vote. As State Party Chairs, we will work with the State Board of Elections to ensure early voting is safe and secure, giving Marylanders the benefit of choosing when and where they cast their ballots. Early Voting will make it easier for all Marylanders to get to the polls, regardless of their hectic schedules - increasing voter turnout, and giving all registered voters in this state an opportunity for their voices to be heard. This election year, the first decision that voters will make is when and where to vote."

For the Primary Election, Early Voting will take place from September 3, 2010 until September 9, 2010 (excluding Sunday, September 5, 2010). For the General Election, Early Voting will take place from October 22, 2010 until October 28, 2010 (Except Sunday, October 24, 2010).
