Voters can get a first look at possible new voting machines for the 2028 presidential election.
WATCH: Voters can test out the new voting machines at public demonstrations
The state is holding public demonstrations this week to show off the new equipment. The machines feature faster scanners to cut down on long lines at the polls.
They also meet updated federal security standards and do not connect to the internet.
State Administrator of Elections Jared DeMarinis wants voters to test the machines before the state buys them.
"I want to get public feedback on the system that we're about to procure, you know, so it's a big investment for the state, and I want to make sure that voters are comfortable with it going for 28 and beyond," DeMarinis said.
Demonstrations are happening from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 25 at the following locations:
Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor
401 W. Pratt St. Baltimore
Hilton Garden Inn Rockville-Gaithersburg
14975 Shady Grove Rd. Rockville
Hilton Garden Inn Kent Island Marina
3206 Main St., Grasonville
