Maryland and West Virginia Primary Results 2024
On May 14, voters in both Maryland and West Virginia will head to the polls to cast their ballots in primary elections, ahead of the general election later in November.
Marylanders will not only cast their ballot in the presidential contest, but they will be selecting their party’s nominees for the U.S. Senate and all eight U.S. House seats. Marylanders will also find candidates running for school boards and circuit court positions.
The U.S. Senate race is competitive with 10 democratic candidates and seven republicans on the ballot. Ben Cardin is the current office holder, but he announced his retirement. Cardin was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. He has held public office since 1966, when he was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1966.
There is no shortage of candidates for some of the U.S. House seats.
District 6 has a whopping 23 people running-16 of them democrats, seven republicans. David Trone, who is running for the U.S. Senate, currently represents this district which includes portions of Montgomery County and all of Allegany, Frederick, Garrett, and Washington counties.
John Sarbanes, who currently represents District 3, is not seeking a 10th term. This has opened the flood gates for people wanting this office as well. Democratic voters will have 22 names to choose from on the ballot; and on the republican ballot there are 9 people listed. Maryland’s Third Congressional District includes all of Howard County and parts of Anne Arundel and Carroll counties.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for both early voting (May 2-9) and on primary election day.
