Before every general election (other than a special election), all election directors shall mail to all registered voters in their respective jurisdictions, by nonforwardable mail, a specimen ballot meeting the requirements of Election Law Article, §8-102(b), Annotated Code of Maryland.

C. Post-Election Confirmation. As soon as reasonably practicable after the general election, the election directors shall begin the confirmation mailing process prescribed in Election Law Article, §3-502, Annotated Code of Maryland.
