ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Here are five things to know about what Maryland voters will be deciding on Election Day:

1. NEW GOVERNOR: Maryland voters will be choosing a new governor to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley. Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown is the Democratic candidate. Larry Hogan, an Anne Arundel County real estate broker, is the Republican candidate. The governor is elected to a four-year term. Maryland’s constitution provides the office with unusually strong budget powers for a governor, as the Legislature can only cut from the budget submitted by the chief executive each January. The governor also is one of three members of the Board of Public Works, which approves state contracts.
