The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office is conducting regular patrol checks at the Early Voting Center at the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department, which is open to voters from 7:00 a.m., to 8:00 p.m., each day through Monday, November 2, 2020, to ensure safe and uneventful voting for citizens.
The Sheriff’s Office’s goal is to secure every person’s right to vote safely and without fear.
