COVID-19

The bill will allow all Delaware voters to request a mail-in ballot, so they can vote safely from the comfort of their own homes, if they so choose. This adds another option for voters, who can also vote at their polling place on election day or cast their ballots early at one of the early voting locations.

The bill now heads to the House for consideration. If enacted into law, it will be effective for the September primary elections. 

During 2020, temporary COVID provisions allowed all voters in Delaware to vote by mail. But if the pending constitutional amendment is not passed soon, Delaware’s voters are likely to lose this voting option.
