November 5th is Election Day
The Takoma Park Election for city council is separate from the Maryland presidential election process. Voting for City Council happens at the Community Center — it will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day for residents who prefer to vote in person or residents not yet registered. To vote in the presidential election on November 5, you will go to your regular precinct polling place.
Non-citizens & 16+ can vote in city elections
Any Takoma Park resident who will be 16 (yes, 16!) by election day is eligible to vote in city elections. U.S. citizenship is not a requirement. You may bring your form in person with a photo ID or mail your form & ID to the address below:
City of Takoma Park
City Clerk’s Office
7500 Maple Avenue
Takoma Park, MD 20912
The city will send all residents a mail-in ballot
In October, Takoma Park Board of Elections will send a vote-by-mail city election ballot to every active registered voter. You may return the ballot by mail in the enclosed prepaid envelope or drop the ballot in an official Takoma Park Ballot Drop Box:
Takoma Park Community Center (7500 Maple Ave., lower-level)
Takoma Park Recreation Center (7315 New Hampshire Ave.)
Takoma Park uses ranked choice voting
Voters rank candidates in order of preference (1, 2, 3 and so on). If a candidate receives a majority of votes, they are elected. In the event no candidate receives a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and that candidates 2nd choice votes are redistributed. If you’re not voting for me, consider adding me as a second choice.
For example, I’ll be voting this way:
Matt Bormet #1
Lucy Moore #2
I hope you vote this way too!
