Harford County Primary 2024: Where To Vote, Who's Running

HARFORD COUNTY, MD ? For those who didn't vote early in the May 14 primary election in Harford County, here's where you can stop by and cast your ballot on Election Day.

Congressional elections are underway for the primary election. Maryland's race for U.S. Senate features two Democrats and former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan hoping to replace retiring Congressman Ben Cardin, a Democrat. Another congressman is retiring in the House of Representatives. That leaves several state lawmakers and a former U.S. Capitol Police officer vying for the open U.S. House seat.
