Results

Following the Maryland Green Party's nominating procedure, the delegates of the Coordinating Council, which is the party's State Central Committee, made the decision to nominate the gubernatorial ticket as no other candidate had filed by the party's March 30, 2018 deadline. More than one ticket seeking the nomination would have required the party to conduct a primary, an obligation not mandated by the State Board of Elections for non-principal parties. [119]

General election

Controversies

More than 74,000 potentially voters were affected during the primaries, when the Motor Vehicle Administration was not able to convey information to voters due to problems with ByteGrid. This is a company that provides key services for Maryland elections, and was bought days before the 2018 primary elections by AltPoint Capital Partners, whose manager is Vladimir Potanin, a person who is close to Russian president, Vladimir Putin. This failure made voters unable to be registered and vote and where forced to fill provisional ballots. [121] No changes were announced for the 2018 gubernatorial election. [122] [123]

Debates

Larry Hogan and Ben Jealous met for their one and only scheduled debate on September 24. The debate was livestreamed in the evening by the Maryland Public Television. [124]
