Maryland’s Nov. 5, 2024, general election ballot will feature five presidential candidates and their running mates. They are:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the presidential election in August, but will still appear on Maryland’s ballot.

There are the same number of candidates on Maryland’s presidential ballot compared to 2020, and one more than in the three elections held between 2008 and 2016. In 2020, Maryland’s ballot had five candidates: Joe Biden (D), Trump, Jo Jorgensen (L), Howie Hawkins (G), and one minor party candidate. Biden won Maryland that year with 65.4% of the vote, followed by Trump with 32.2%, Jorgensen with 1.1%, and Hawkins with 0.5%. No other 

candidate received more than 0.2% of the vote.

As of Oct. 23, The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rated the state as solid Democratic. In the last 10 presidential elections, the Democratic candidate has won Maryland eight times and the Republican candidate has won the state twice.

Maryland has 10 electoral votes, tied with four other states for the 18th most electoral votes. Maryland neither gained nor lost electoral votes following the 2020 census. 

Maryland’s general election ballot will also feature one ballot measure and elections for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Maryland State Supreme Court, among others.
