Anne Arundel County Public Schools - Election Official Career and Technical Education Pilot Program

SB 408 creates a pilot program in Anne Arundel County Public Schools to prepare high school students for careers as election officials. The bill requires the Anne Arundel County Board of Education and the State Board of Elections (with input from the State Department of Education) to develop this career training program starting July 1, 2026. The program will run for five years, ending June 30, 2031, and applies only to Anne Arundel County schools. It directly affects students in the county’s public schools by offering structured career pathways in election administration. The bill does not change existing election laws but establishes a new educational opportunity specific to the county.
