“Two director positions will be filled by this election,” Elections Committee Chairman Steve Habeger said. “Ballots will be mailed to owners of record the week of July 8 and all ballots must be received — repeat, received — by close of business on Aug. 5. Your vote counts and, to make sure your vote counts, please make sure your ballot is received by the deadline.”
 
Ballots may be returned either to the ballot box inside the Ocean Pines Administration Building on 239 Ocean Parkway, or mailed to the Ocean Pines post office box in Berlin.  

The cutoff for voter eligibility is July 1.
