Election Day is Saturday, April 25, 2026. The polls will be open at Slayton House (10400 Cross Fox Lane) in the Wilde Lake Village Center from 9AM-2PM. You must show a valid driver’s license or other photo ID or a current utility bill showing your address to vote.

Members may vote with an absentee ballot or online:

• Absentee Ballot: Complete the absentee ballot you have received in the mail. Please note that absentee ballots are valid only if completely filled out, including all identifying information on the envelope. This information will be kept separately from the actual ballot to ensure privacy.
  • Completed absentee ballots may be returned by USPS mail using the postage paid envelope.
  • Absentee ballots are due Friday, April 24, 2026 by 4PM.
  • The absentee ballot you receive in the mail cannot be used on Election Day.

Renters need to provide a copy of their current lease showing their address to cast a vote in Village elections. The lease may be emailed to [email protected] or hand carried to Slayton House (10400 Cross Fox Lane) by 4PM on Friday, April 24, 2026.

Alternatively, renters who plan to cast their ballots in person may bring a copy of their current lease to the polling place on Election Day.
