Here's how to vote on Election Day in Prince George's County

Maryland voters will head to the Nov. 5 general election in a week, with key state and federal races taking center stage.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will face off in the presidential race. At the state level, Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) and former Gov. Larry Hogan (R-Md.) are engaged in an important race for Maryland's open U.S. Senate seat.
