Carlos Ayala resigned from the Maryland State Board of Elections after being indicted for his participation in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot. Ayala was appointed last year by Governor Wes Moore. He faces a felony charge of civil disorder and has a court order to be back in front of a judge on Feb. 8.
“The Board is committed to maintaining the security and integrity of our elections in Maryland in a non-partisan manner,” said Maryland State Board of Elections Chair Michael Summers. “The State Board will remain steadfast in our mission to oversee our elections process and serve as a trusted source of information for all Marylanders during this presidential election year.”
