MD HB317

Establishes a Curbside Voting Pilot Program in three Maryland counties (one small, one medium, one large by registered voter population) to test curbside voting viability

Requires local boards to designate outdoor curbside voting locations at early voting centers and polling places at least 6 months before each statewide primary election

Voters may request curbside voting and choose between marking a paper ballot or using a ballot marking device, with election judges required to ensure ballot secrecy and prompt service

Location selection must prioritize accessibility to historically disenfranchised communities, public transportation access, and proximity to dense voter populations

Takes effect October 1, 2025 and automatically expires September 30, 2029, with the State Board required to report to the General Assembly on implementation by September 1, 2029
