Your 2026 Wicomico County ballot

Tuesday, November 3, 2026 · Early voting October 22–29

Check which district you are in before you vote. The council and school board maps were redrawn for 2026, so your district may not be the one you voted in last time. The Wicomico County Board of Elections can confirm it.

This lists everyone on the ballot. It does not tell you how to vote, and CivicBury does not endorse candidates. Each name links to what that candidate says about themselves and where it came from.
