Maryland law requires the Board of Elections (BOE) to receive an official death notice before removing someone from the voting rolls. To have someone removed, please provide a letter stating the name and date of birth for the deceased and the relationship of the requestor to the deceased, along with a copy of the death certificate. The letter must be signed. A notice from the newspaper is not an acceptable replacement for the actual death certificate. The death certificate does not need to be certified, and it may be a photocopy.

The above information may be: mailed to the Board of Elections, 18753 N. Frederick Road, Suite 210, Gaithersburg, MD. 20879; faxed: 240.777.8600; or sent via email (with a copy of the death certificate included with the email), [email protected].

Online users who have additional questions and would like to be contacted by a departmental staff member may submit a request by clicking on the Create Service Request button below. Please complete all the fields in the Contact Information section and provide a brief description of the request in the Brief Description field. Note: during election season, contact the office at: 240.777.8500.
