Created in 1969, the State Administrative Board
of Election Laws supervises the conduct of voter
registration and elections in Maryland (Chapter
555, Acts of 1969). The Board adopts rules and
regulations to help the boards of supervisors of
elections in each county and Baltimore City with
elections, voting, and voter registration. The Board
reviews, approves, certifies, and decertifies voting
systems and adopts regulations relating to them. To
regulate the financing of campaigns for State and
county offices, the Board also administers the Fair
Election Practices Act. In addition, the Board serves

as a depository for election records and other rele-
vant election information.
In odd-numbered years, the Board convenes a
meeting with all members of boards of supervisors
of elections of the counties and Baltimore City to
instruct them, their designated employees, and
counsel on their duties in the conduct of elections.
The Board also administers the voter registration-
by-mail program.
The Board reviews and monitors all election
bills, constitutional amendments, and related refer-
enda. Staff assistance is available to members of the
General Assembly for consultation on election-re-
lated legislation. Local boards of supervisors of
elections are advised of legislative hearings and the
status of pertinent bills.
The Board publishes Registration and Election
Laws of Maryland, which is for sale to the public.
The Board also has available primary and general
election returns beginning with 1948. More recent
returns are published in booklet form.
The Board consists of five members appointed
to four-year terms by the Governor with Senate
advice and consent. Three members must be of the
same political party as the Governor, while two
members represent the party that received the sec-
ond greatest number of votes in the most recent
gubernatorial election.
The Governor appoints the State Administrator
of Election Laws for a six-year term. The State
Administrator receives and audits financial reports
of candidates required under the Election Code.
The State Administrator also serves as Secretary to
the Board of State Canvassers (Code 1957, Art. 33,
secs. 1A-1, 3-l(c), 16B-2,18-1).
