Maryland - Maryland State Board of Elections
Program Title
Text2Cure
Program Summary
The Maryland General Assembly recently passed a law that required the State Board of Elections (SBE) to implement a curing-by-text message method for contacting voters who did not sign the oath on their mail-in ballot envelope. SBE procured a solution that would allow for a voter to be notified that they needed to cure their ballot in order for it to be counted and offered various methods by which this could be done. It also included a secure texting option whereby a voter could text back their signature securely.
