How do I research the candidates in Maryland?

Every candidate we track has a profile built from public records — FEC filings, Congress.gov voting histories, OpenStates — with a source link on each claim. Candidates also get a Decode Grade from a published, party-blind rubric, so two candidates with identical records always grade identically.

Do I need to be registered before election day in Maryland?

Registration deadlines and same-day registration rules are set by each state and change by statute, so we don't restate them here — Maryland's official portal (linked from our How to Vote in Maryland page) is the authoritative source. Our registration check can confirm your current status.

Is DecodeTheVote nonpartisan?

Yes. We do not endorse candidates, accept no money from parties or campaigns, and run no ads. Every profile is built from public records with a source link on every claim, and our grading rubric is published in full on our methods page.
