The Carroll County Observer will be tracking the early voting turnout throughout the 2022 General Election (Oct 27th – Nov 3rd).

Here is a recap of early voting in Carroll County through day 7:

Total votes cast in Carroll County through day 7: 11,282

  • Westminster continues to have the lion share of early voters through day 7 (5,916 votes cast at that location in six days).
  • The turn out numbers continued to increase on day 7 (Wednesday) and we should continue to see these numbers rise on Thursday.
  • There have now been more votes cast in Early Voting than in Mail In Voting (at least for now) in Carroll County. See additional details on mail in voting below.
  • Thursday (November 3rd) is the final day of Early Voting.
  • Election Day is November 8th

Of the 11,282 votes cast on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7:

  • 3,168 are registered Democrats
  • 119 are registered Green, Libertarian, WCP or Other

Fun Fact: Of the jurisdictions in Maryland with over 100,000 eligible voters…Carroll County has the third highest percentage of early voters to eligible voters:

  1. Harford County: 9.50%
  2. Howard County: 8.87%
  3. Carroll County: 8.84%
  4. Baltimore County: 7.71%
  5. Charles County: 7.44%
  6. Anne Arundel County: 7.39%
  7. Prince George’s County:  6.46%
  8. Frederick County: 6.38%
  9. Montgomery County 6.19%
  10. Baltimore City: 4.18%

Obviously mail in voting has likely changed how many people come out and vote early. The question that should be asked…do we still need 8 days of early voting now that we have a significantly expanded mail in voting system in Maryland? Something to think about for the future.
