Bill Summary
AS AMENDED BY HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1 AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ELECTIONS.
AI Summary
This bill amends Title 15 of the Delaware Code relating to elections. The key provisions are:
1. The deadline to register to vote for any presidential primary, primary, special, and general election is now the day of the election. Voters can register at their polling place on election day by providing a valid government-issued photo ID or a current document with their name and address, such as a utility bill.
2. The deadline for mail-in voter registration applications is now the date they are received by the Department of Elections, rather than the previous requirement of being postmarked by the deadline.
3. The previous separate deadline for special elections has been removed, aligning the registration deadline for all elections to the day of the election.
4. The bill also allows the Department of Elections to process voter registration applications that update a registrant's address or name up until the day of any election, rather than the previous cutoff of the day before the election.
