Maryland State Board Of Elections Reminds Voters To Wear Mask, Social Distance At The Polls

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- The Maryland State Board of Elections wants to remind voters to wear a mask when they show up to the polls for early voting or on Election Day.

Voters who say they have a medical condition or disability where a mask would impede communication do not need to wear one, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections.

Voters who refuse to wear a mask and do not provide a medical reason or acceptable disability must vote a provisional ballot outside of the voting room.

Early voting in Maryland starts Monday, October 26. The State Board of Elections said it expects a large voter turnout.
