S. Moore

This Amendment does all of the following: (1) Clarifies that a qualified voter who is duly registered has an absolute right to vote by absentee ballot without an excuse. (2) Clarifies that a qualified voter who desires to cast an absentee ballot must request an absentee ballot from the Department of Elections for each election cycle, unless the qualified voter is granted permanent absentee status. This State’s current absentee voting law authorizes permanent absentee status for various reasons (see § 5503(k) of Title 15 of the Delaware Code) and this Amendment adopts those reasons. (3) Clarifies that early, in-person voting for the general election, a primary election, and a special election is to occur on 10 calendar days before the date of the general election, primary election, and special election, including the Saturday and Sunday immediately before the election.
