Chevy Chase Town, Maryland Public Records

The voter registration deadline falls 21 days before any election, and applicants must provide a Maryland driver's license or Motor Vehicle Administration ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. The state also offers same-day voter registration during early voting and on Election Day at designated locations. Chevy Chase itself is unincorporated and has no municipal government or mayor, though several small incorporated villages within the area, Chevy Chase Village, Section 3, and Section 5, hold their own municipal elections for village boards, typically in May of each year. These hyper-local elections are managed by the individual municipalities rather than the county Board of Elections.
