The next City election for Mayor and Councilmembers will take place this fall. In addition to Vote-By-Mail, the City will offer Early Voting at City Hall and Davis Hall during the two weeks prior to the election. Election Day is on Sunday, November 5, at the College Park Community Center.
Candidacy packets for residents interested in running for office will be available in July.
In the fall of 2022, the City’s Board of Election Supervisors mailed postcards to all households in the City requesting participation in a resident survey regarding City elections. When the survey closed in early January, 233 responses had been received. Although the response was low, there were some informative take-aways.
Residents who responded said they were interested in having more candidates to choose from when they vote, and in receiving more information about the candidates who are running. Direct mail was seen as the best way to receive information about elections. Voting by mail and Early Voting were chosen as the preferred voting methods.
The complete survey results and responses to the questions are available here.
For more information about running for office or voting in the next City election, please contact the City Clerk, Janeen S. Miller, at jsmiller@collegeparkmd.gov, or call 240-487-3501.
