Provisional ballots in Maryland were highly concentrated in 2024
Original: Provisional ballots in MD were highly concentrated in 2024. Some places may need more support in November.
New analysis of Maryland's 2024 election shows provisional ballots were heavily concentrated in specific localities rather than spread evenly across the state. The finding suggests some jurisdictions may need extra administrative support ahead of the November election, since high provisional ballot volumes often signal voter registration issues or same-day changes that slow counting and can delay final results.
Why now: Election officials and observers are preparing for November and assessing where Maryland counties may face heavy provisional ballot loads again.
