Register and Vote – Maryland's Counting on You!

Voting is Americans' most fundamental civil right and civic responsibility. Voter turnout is an indication of the strength of a democracy – the higher the turnout, the more responsive and sincere our government. But in Maryland fewer than 60 percent of registered voters participate in gubernatorial elections, and only 3 out of 10 in primary elections.

To increase turnout and make our representiatives more responsive to the needs of working families, Progressive Maryland urges that all eligible voters register and vote in the upcoming elections. To register, get absentee ballots, locate polling places, or anything else related to elections, visit the Maryland Board of Elections website or contact Progressive Maryland's Silver Spring or Baltimore offices.

Quote of the Month

"The other side is counting on people not having a good memory... These folks drove the economy into a ditch and want the keys back. You've got to say the same thing to them you say to your teenager: You can't have the keys back because you don't know how to drive yet..."
-President Obama,
July 8 in Kansas City

PM's political strength comes from over 15,000 individual member-supporters and partnerships with 50 of Maryland's largest community, faith-based, labor, and civil rights groups. But we need your support to continue holding elected officials accountable so they respond to the needs of regular voters – not deep-pocket special interests.
