2026 Gubernatorial General Sample Ballots

The County is seeking bids from qualified vendors for the printing and mailing of approximately 65,000 sample ballots for the 2026 Gubernatorial General election. The vendor will be responsible for meeting with the Election Office staff and USPS bulk mailing unit officials, providing preliminary and final sample ballot proofs, and mailing the ballots to voters. The project involves three mailings between September 16, 2026, and October 21, 2026. The vendor must use white paper, black ink, and 24lb or 60lb paper, and the mailing will be nonprofit postage service with return service requested. Key points to consider: • The vendor must be licensed to perform work in the state of Maryland. • The vendor must provide a certificate of good standing with the State of Maryland. • The vendor must have experience providing goods/services similar to those requested in the proposal document within the last 12-36 months. • The vendor must provide references and agree to have the work completed within the projected timeline for mailing.
