Common Cause Delaware opposes bill to allow “artificial entities” to vote in municipal elections

Claire Snyder-Hall, executive director of Common Cause Delaware, talks with 47 ABC about a bill that would change an outdated statute related to voting age, but leave in language that requires literacy tests, land ownership, and a minimum residency for voting.

"We need bold new ideas to increase participation in democracy through voting, and this could do that."

"Instill the value of civic responsibility in a new generation."

Claire Snyder-Hall talks with WMDT about a newly filed bill that would lower the voting age to 16 for school board elections in Delaware.
