Election Day Details: You Can Still Register to Vote
Nov 2, 2009 12:29 - 7 Comments
Perhaps you are reading all of our >election coverage on Rockville Central and you want to vote but you have never registered. Don’t fret! The Rockville Ordinance allows eligible residents to register ON Election Day. So on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 you can go to City Hall, 111 Maryland Avenue and cast your vote.
You must:
- Be a US Citizen
- Be at least 18 years old by November 3rd
- Bring proof of Rockville residency
- Bring photo identification such as a driver’s license or state ID card. If the ID does not have an address, a document from a corporation such as a lease, utility bill, student ID, or current real estate tax bill will be accepted.
So if you have just moved to Rockville or never did get around to registering – just do it!
If you are already registered then be sure go to the proper polling place. Two of the polling locations have changed. Voters in District 2 will now vote at Rockville Swim and Fitness Center, 355 Martins Lane, (previously Beall Elementary School) and voters in District 8 will now vote at Thomas Farm Community Center, 700 Fallsgrove Drive, (previously Lakewood Elementary School).
You can view a map of all the voting districts on the City’s website.
If you physically can’t access the voting room in the polling place, you can vote at the curbside. Simply arrive at the polls in a car and have a companion notify an election judge in the voting room of the need for assistance.
The results of the 2009 election will be available through Rockville Channel 11, the City’s Web site and at City Hall. Results on November 3rd but they’re not official until Tuesday, November 10th.
I hope you are going to join me at the polls!

Can you post the hours or a link to the hours of the various polling locations? I’ve been hunting all over for it and have found great resources for finding my polling location, but can’t find when they open and close. Thanks.
Hi Eric,I had the hours in this post but there has been trouble with WordPress and it keeps shutting down when you try to save or post. Then you have to go back and remember what you wrote from the last time it auto saved.Polls are open 7 AM until 8 PM!
Eric,The City web site has all the information you need. The voting distrct page is available here http://www.rockvillemd.gov/election09/voting-districts.htm
Does anyone have a link to a good statistical analysis of the 2007 election results, preferably in pdf format? I’d love to look at something that breaks it down by district.Also, approximately what time of the evening would one expect the results to be “called”? What time did that occur in 2007?
A complete analysis of the 2007 election can be found on the Allaince of Rockville Citizens website on Rocknet. Go to http://www.rocknet.org/community/alliance and after the current article there is a list of recent ARC actions. The fourth one down is the election analysis. There will be a similar analysis of this election about 10 days from now .
Thanks for the link Roald. Unfortunately, when I clicked on it, I got this message:Sorry, web page, http://www.rocknet.org/community/alliance/analysis07.pdf, was not found. RockNet would like to fix this, so please submit this error to our administration team.
Congratulations to all the winners!!!! Great campaign….Trapper
