Bill > SB2

This bill proposes an amendment to Article V of the Delaware Constitution to modify voting procedures, specifically addressing the timing and manner of general elections. The bill maintains the existing provision that general elections will be held biennially on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, while adding new language that explicitly establishes early, in-person voting requirements. Under the proposed amendment, early voting must occur for 10 calendar days before three specific types of elections: the general election, primary elections for offices to be decided in the general election, and special elections to fill vacancies in the General Assembly. These early voting days would include the Saturday and Sunday immediately preceding the election. The bill preserves the existing constitutional language that allows the General Assembly to prescribe voting methods that ensure voter secrecy, election independence, and protection against fraud, corruption, and intimidation. This amendment aims to expand voter access by providing a structured early voting period across different types of elections.
