The deadline to request an electronic ballot is Friday at 11:59 p.m.
In-person voting on April 28 will be limited.
Former Rep. Kweisi Mfume, a Democrat, will take on Kimberly Klacik, a Republican, with the winner representing parts of Baltimore and Howard counties and Baltimore City in the House of Representatives.
