Since the last Presidential election, I’ve lived in three different counties in Maryland. I last voted in Anne Arundel County, I then moved to Baltimore County, and have recently moved to Harford County. My drivers license has my previous address in Baltimore County. So where do I go to vote? Where I last voted, where my license says I live, or where I currently live?

I went on line to order a new voters card but it states that it must be ordered 21 days before the election.

Call the county clerk’s office, for the county where you now reside, and ask for guidance. The rules differ by state.

The probable outcome (my WAG as an Illinois election judge) is that you will receive a federal ballot (able to vote for federal positions) but not be able to vote for local elections since you didn’t register in your new location.
