More than 161,000 Marylanders cast their ballots during the first day of early voting, according to the State Board of Elections, setting what is believed to be a single-day record for early voting in the state.
By comparison, the 2016 election saw 123,623 voters on the first day of early voting, according to data from the State Board of Elections.
With Monday’s 161,000-plus votes combined with the 947,941 mail-in ballots returned so far, more than 1.1 million Marylanders have voted so far in 2020.
