Virginia offers early voting only to absentee voters, who must state why they will not be able to vote on Election Day.

But Maryland offers early voting to any voter. Locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Friday was added to make up for Monday, when voting was cancelled due to the giant storm.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley also extended the deadline for absentee ballot applications until Wednesday at 8 p.m. for applications received by mail or delivery and noon for applications by fax or email.

Applications should be sent to the local board of elections.
