How Maryland is counted and compared
- 2022 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 40 days before the election in 2022 (September 29) and 45 days before it this year (September 19), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- 2024 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 46 days before the election in 2024 (September 20) and 45 days before it this year (September 19), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- Counts mail-in ballots received by local boards (returned, whether or not yet accepted in the canvass) plus early in-person votes; ballots sent are not counted.
- U is every voter not registered as a Democrat or Republican (unaffiliated and minor parties).
