AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 15 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ELECTIONS

This bill provides for Election Day registration for presidential primary, primary, special, and general elections whereas currently the deadline is the fourth Saturday prior to the date of the election. Moreover, same day registration at polling places will be permitted with submission of valid government issued identification or other generally accepted proof of identification. This bill removes the requirement that a felon has paid all financial obligations, including fines and restitution, before his or her right to vote is restored. Finally, this bill provides that for same day registrations, an affidavit that a registrant is not a prohibited felon replaces an inquiry under CJIS to determine of an applicant has been convicted of a felony.
