Apple Ballot Testimonials

Hear from volunteers from the 2022 midterm election about their experience handing out apple ballots!

"Everyone's been nice and smiling. They are taking those apple ballots!!!"

Capture

"It went great! Handed out all the apple ballots and most people were receptive/supportive."

Capture

"Passing out the ballots went well. Most of the people I approached took the ballot. I was really amazed that one of the candidates whose name was on the Apple Ballot was there passing our her brochures with me!"

Capture

"It went well. About 75% of people took the ballot. I have no idea if they used it, but everyone was cordial event the ones that didn't want it."

Make a plan to vote

Elections are our chance to send a clear message that we’re not going back to slashed budgets and harmful policies that leave too many students behind. Make sure you’re ready to vote with our step-by-step guide.
1

MAKE SURE YOU’RE REGISTERED!

If it’s been a while since you’ve voted (or even if it hasn’t), now’s the time to make sure you’re registered at your current address. Make sure your registration and current address are up to date.

REQUEST OR TRACK A MAIL-IN BALLOT

Any registered voter in Maryland may vote by mail-in ballot. You don't need a reason to vote by mail-in ballot. Getting your vote in well ahead of Election Day gives you peace of mind, and voting by mail is a great way to avoid a last-minute, in-person rush.
Request Your Ballot

PREVIEW YOUR BALLOT

Before you head to the polls or fill out your mail-in ballot, familiarize yourself with who is on your ballot—and see which pro-public education candidates are recommended by TAAAC, MSEA, and NEA.
Updated Recommendations will be available in 2024

FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE AND CHECK YOUR DEADLINE

If you choose to vote in person, find where your polling place is located right now. (It may have changed.) If you’re voting absentee, check your ballot for a drop-off location.

PLAN TRANSPORTATION
