LA PLATA, Md. – Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) regularly partners with the Maryland State and Charles County boards of elections. Many CCPS facilities, including schools, serve as polling locations during local, state and national elections.
Staff from the Charles County Board of Elections is set to visit the seven CCPS high schools next month to share information with students about how to vote, voter registration and how to serve as an election judge.
These visits will occur during school lunch shifts so student instructional time is not impacted. Schools will notify parents/guardians of the schedule in advance so they can talk with their child about the opportunity to learn about voting.
- Monday, Sept. 16: La Plata High School.
- Tuesday, Sept. 17: North Point High School.
- Tuesday, Sept. 17: Thomas Stone High School.
- Wednesday, Sept. 18: St. Charles High School.
- Wednesday, Sept. 18: Westlake High School.
- Thursday, Sept. 19: Henry E. Lackey High School.

Charles County Board of Election staff are State of Maryland employees with the Maryland State Board of Elections and do not represent any political party or affiliation or candidate in any election cycle.
CCPS plans to offer this opportunity to high school students annually.

This election, we wil have a state ballot question + a county ballot question + countys will have their local questions. Lets not have a no vote by default. This time, the ballot questions are not about getting the county/ state out of the dark ages. It would be nice if we didn’t have unanswered questions about the ball0ot question.
let me clear my throat. Lets not have a yes vote by default. If the spot is left blank, it won’t count, only a no vote is = to a yes vote.
WBAL TV has a voters guide: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/2024-election-maryland-voters-guide-how-to-vote-candidates/46766570 it would be nice if it covered the state ballot question/ constitution amendment + didn’t leave any unanswered questions. What does this ballot question make legal that isnt already legal? Yes, those from Baltimore can access this website.
