Annapolis, MD – Mar. 9, 2023 – Two weeks ago, I filed a bill to change the 2024 Primary Election Date so it does not conflict with the first day of Passover and restrict many from voting.
In an effort to ensure expediency and efficiency, today I introduced an amendment to the Election Reform Act of 2023, which changes the primary date to the second Tuesday in May. I am grateful to my colleagues for supporting this amendment, which passed in the subcommittee today.
Thank you to Speaker Jones, President Ferguson, Governor Moore, County Executive Olszewski and Mayor Scott for your support in this effort.
I look forward to the amendment becoming law and the primary date next year being on May 14, 2024.
