The Maryland State Board of Elections completed the installation this week of 286 ballot drop boxes across the state. Voters can use any drop box to cast their mail-in ballots, which may arrive in homes as early as next week.

An election conspiracy group has announced plans to livestream footage from ballot drop boxes and recruit sheriffs to help. Local officials are concerned about potential voter intimidation.
