Election 2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic Gov. Hogan instructed the State Board of Election to send every Maryland voter an application to apply for an absentee/vote-by-mail ballot. Because of the changes at the United States Postal Service our office has heard from many District 1 residents with concerns about this election. You can apply for an absentee/vote-by-mail ballot by visiting https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/OnlineVoterRegistration or texting VBM to 77788. Ballot drop boxes will be placed across the County like during the Primary and you can find those locations on the Prince George's County Board of Election website, elections.mypgc.us. We will provide email updates – sign up at councildistrict1@co.pg.md.us

Mask Request

District 1 families and Laurel Hospital need Face Masks for Children. We will continue collecting at our three drop off locations and one of the members of your District One team will deliver to those in need. We ask you package the materials in a resealable plastic bag. Learn more about the District 1 Sewing Project at bit.ly/D1-Sewing-Project.
