Removal of Deceased Family Member from Voting Rolls

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.
