Municipal Elections - Reporting of Information to the State Board

HB 1448 requires Maryland municipalities to submit specific election information to the State Board of Elections by set deadlines. Municipalities must provide candidate qualification requirements 6 months before candidate filing, and a list of qualified candidates plus voting procedure/location details one week after filing. The State Board must immediately post all submitted information on its website. This bill directly affects voters seeking clear election details and municipalities managing local elections, with additional requirements for posting election results broken down by voting method (mail-in, early, election day) within 30 days of certification.
