Rockville, Maryland Approves Voting by Mail

 

In an effort to increase voter participation in city elections, Rockville is the first city in Maryland to allow residents to vote by mail.

The new policy was unanimously approved by the City Council and Rockville Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton. 

City Officials said about 16 percent of Rockville's 40,000 registered voters participated in the 2011, 2013 and 2015 city elections.

The next election is November 2019, marking the first time residents can vote by mail. Voters will determine all five council members and the mayor.

By mail is good, what about via e-mail? I guess, it will come soon too.

Roy, would have thought you already had this option.  Think it has been years we have been able to mail in our ballot.

Warm Up the Grill After a Trip to The Main Street Farmers & Artists Market 
It's grilling time at The Main Street Farmers and Artists  Market! Everyone is getting their aprons on and their barbecue spatulas out. The market is filled with tons of great options for your barbecue: sausages from Stone Feather Farm, whole portobello mushroomss from Homestead Farm, veggie packets made with fresh vegetables from Pheasant Hill Farm, all seasoned with herbs from Tuckey's Fruit and Vegetable Farm.   If you don't feel like cooking, pick up some BBQ from Seneca Smokehouse and take home a ready-cooked meal.  There is no limit to what one can find when roaming the market in search of grilling options.   The Main Street Farmers and Artists Market is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. under the Main Street Pavilion.
