Delaware Democrat lawmakers consider mail-in voting

Bill would give Delaware residents the option of voting by mail in the September primary election and November’s general election.

ASenate bill that would establish voting by mail in Delaware will be brought under consideration, Senate Democrats said.

Senate Bill 320, sponsored by Sen. Kyle Evans Gay, D-Brandywine Hundred, would call for creating the methodology for voting by mail in the state and will be be reviewed by the Senate Elections & Government Affairs committee.

Gay serves as chairman of the committee.

“A democratic government that truly works for the people should do everything in in its power to make voting accessible,” Gay said in the release. “Working families, seniors, and Delawareans concerned for their health want and deserve a vote-by-mail option.

“Voting is the most fundamental democratic exercise, and Delaware proved in 2020 that mail balloting is safe, secure, feasible, and an effective avenue to expand voter participation, as evidenced by the record turnout in the last election. It’s time we made vote-by-mail an ongoing option in our state.”

The legislation, according to the release, was filed Friday morning and, if enacted, would give Delaware residents the option of voting by mail in the September primary election and November’s general election.

Under the bill, voters would have to complete an online or paper application to receive a mail-in ballot, which can be returned in one of three ways. The ballot would come with instructions, a prepaid envelope to be returned by mail, could be dropped off in a secured drop box, or hand-delivered to a local election office.

  1. doesn’t shock me. democrats are all extremely lazy people. And stupid people. Look how they are forever making babies and then have their hands out wanting the government to pay for things for them. They have regressed to where democrats can’t even be considered human beings anymore they are so primal and uncivilized. They get so happy living in public housing. That is so gross. Living in stack shacks like ants.

  2. Mail in voting is illegal unless you have special exemption such as military . Using the USPS is a joke , they are one of the worse government institutions . They lose billions every year , if you mail in anything it may take a week , a month , a year or never .
