Polls open in Prince George's County for County Executive special election

The Brief Polls in Prince George's County are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nine Democrats and three Republicans are on the ballot. The winner will face reelection in 2026. COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Polls in Prince George's County opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday for a special election to decide the next County Executive. There are 12 names on the ballot, including nine Democrats and three Republicans, all vying to be the county's next CEO. The winner will have to hit the ground running, as the county faces an estimated $170 million budget shortfall. Currently, residential taxes support about 70% of the county's revenue, while the remaining 30% comes from commercial taxes. The budget shortfall is expected to grow with federal spending cuts and the firing of government workers. Although there are 12 names on the ballot, one candidate, Jolene Ivey, dropped out last month. The winner of this race will be up for reelection in the 2026 midterm elections. There are nine polling places, which will remain open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Rushern L. Baker III (Democratic) Aisha Braveboy (Democratic) Marcellus Crews (Democratic) Calvin S.
