On Tuesday, March 4, Prince George’s County will hold a special primary election for residents to select candidates for two significant positions: a new County Executive and the District Five County Council seat. While all county residents can vote for the County Executive race, only District Five residents are eligible to vote for the County Council seat.

All eligible voters have been sent mail-in ballots, and most should have already received theirs. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this convenient option. Mail-in ballots can be returned via drop boxes, ensuring secure and timely submission.
