State election board staffer Jared DeMarinis replaces Linda H. Lamone, who is stepping down after more than two decades administering Maryland elections.
For the first time in a quarter-century, the Maryland Board of Elections on Thursday chose a new administrator to oversee state elections at a time of heightened scrutiny and technical challenges.
“We were particularly impressed in the interviewing process with how Jared has run his division, with a premium on customer service and a nonpartisan approach,” said board member T. Sky Woodward. With Lamone set to retire in September, the Board of Elections raced to fill her seat so that the new appointee would have time to transition into the role. The board opened applications for a two-week window last month and quickly narrowed the pool down to three finalists. Board members chose to keep the applicants’ identities secret despite public pressure to bring more transparency to the process.
“There was, and is, strong consensus that it was time for new leadership,” Kagan said. “Especially as elections are under a microscope, we need an administrator who can communicate and collaborate with all of the stakeholders.
