-## SBE Policy 2020-01: Temporary Electronic Petition Signature Acceptance
-<pre>
-Adopted: April 22, 2020
-Annapolis, Maryland
-WHEREAS, on March 5, 2020, the Governor issued a proclamation declaring a State of
-Emergency in an effort to control and prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the State;
-WHEREAS, on March 17, 2020, the Governor issued a proclamation renewing the declaration of
-a State of Emergency and declaring the existence of catastrophic health emergency that interferes
-with the electoral process and stated that steps should be taken to prevent or reduce harmful
-consequences to the electoral process;
-WHEREAS, on March 30, 2020, the Governor issued a Stay-at-Home-Order except to conduct
-essential activities and prohibiting any gathering of more than 10 people;
-WHEREAS, on April 10, 2020, the Governor issued a proclamation renewing the declaration of a
-State of Emergency and catastrophic health emergency, and specified that the Stay-at-HomeOrder did not prohibit persons from traveling between their homes and polling places or ballot
-return locations for certain purposes relating to the April 28, 2020 special general election to fill
-the vacancy in the Seventh Congressional District and the June 2, 2020 presidential primary
-election;
-WHEREAS, the Governor’s April 10, 2020 proclamation, did not specify that persons living in
-Maryland may travel outside their homes for the purpose of circulating or signing petitions to place
-a candidate or question on the ballot at the November 3, 2020 presidential general election, or for
-a political party to gain recognition by the State;
-WHEREAS, the collection of signatures for a petition is often conducted during gatherings, events,
-or festivals that are prohibited under the order of the Governor;
-WHEREAS, the State Board of Elections recognizes that the current, extreme conditions inhibit
-the collection of signatures required for a petition to gain access to or place a question on the
-ballot;
-WHEREAS, Maryland law allows a government agency “to determine whether, and to the extent
-to which, it will send and accept electronic records and electronic signatures to and from other
-persons and otherwise . . . . rely upon electronic records and electronic signatures,” Md. Code,
-Comm. Law § 21-117(a);
-WHEREAS, the State Board of Elections has not, to date, permitted the submission of petitions
-bearing electronic signatures; and
-WHEREAS, the State Board of Elections believes that allowing the submission of petitions bearing
-electronic signatures during the period in which Maryland citizens may seek to file petitions to
-place a candidate or question on the ballot at the November 3, 2020 presidential general election,
-or for a political party to gain recognition by the State in time to qualify to nominate candidates to
-appear on the ballot at the November 3, 2020 presidential general election, will further the State’s
-goals of minimizing the threat posed by COVID-19 while preserving the Constitutional rights of
-Marylanders to petition for access to or to place a question on the ballot;
-THEREFORE, the State Board of Elections states as follows:
-1. Definitions.
-a. “Circulator” shall have the meaning set forth in Md. Code, Elec. Law § 6-101(d)
-b. “Electronic signature” shall have the meaning set forth in Md. Code, Elec. Law § 1-
-101(y)
-c. “Petition” shall have the meaning set forth in Md. Code, Elec. Law § 6-101(i)
-2. Policy.
-a. Any petition authorized by law to place the name of an individual or question on the
-ballot or to create a new political party pursuant to Title 6 of the Election Law Article
-of the Annotated Code of Maryland may contain the electronic signatures of
-individuals signing the petition, and/or circulators circulating any of the signature
-pages filed with the petition.
-b. For an electronic signature to be valid under this policy, in addition to meeting the
-requirements of Elec. Law § 1-101(y), the signature must reflect an affirmative action
-by the signer to type or electronically sign or affix the signer’s name on to the
-signature page.
-c. The signature must be typed, signed or affixed onto a form prescribed by the State
-Board of Elections.
-d. All current statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to petition signatures
-(including the signatures of circulators in the circulator’s affidavit) remain in effect.
-e. This policy does not change the requirement that a circulator must personally observe
-each signer as the page for which that circulator will swear an affidavit is being
-signed. Remote observations (such as via Skype or FaceTime) do not meet this
-requirement.
-3. Applicability.
-a. This policy shall be in effect from April 22, 2020 until the deadline for submitting any
-petition to place the name of an individual or question on the November 3, 2020
-presidential general election ballot, or to create a new political party in time for that
-party to qualify to nominate candidates to appear on the ballot at the November 3,
-2020 presidential general election.
