Washington County's legislative delegation in Annapolis will shrink from eight to six after the 2014 elections to reflect redrawn legislative districts based on the 2010 census. Although the changes have been in the works for some time, the Washington County Board of Elections this month sent out about 52,000 mailers to county voters whose polling place, precinct and/or district has changed. “Anytime we do a change ... that affects a voter's election district or how they are represented, we are required to send out notification,” said Kaye E. Robucci, election director of the Washington County Board of Elections.

A bill introduced by Del. Neil C. Parrott, R-Washington, that would allow campaigning and campaign signs on the premises of a public building up to a specified boundary received a favorable vote from the House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday.

Young, D-Frederick/Washington, also received a favorable vote from a Senate committee. “I noticed during early voting that there was a lot of inconsistency across polling places when it came to signs and electioneering ... it almost seemed different for each facility,” Parrott said.
