House Bill No. 65 moves the date of the primary for state elections to the fourth Tuesday in April, with the intent of matching the day of the presidential primary in years when a presidential primary is held. This Senate Amendment would change the Elections Code so that the state primary election is tethered directly to the date of the presidential primary in Delaware, rather than a date certain. This allows flexibility in the event the date of the presidential primary is shifted at some point in the future. The other dates in the bill are shifted in corresponding fashion.
