This legislation corrects an inadvertent error in Delaware law that has permitted people younger than 18 years of age to vote in final-stage elections. People must be 18 years of age or older to be eligible to vote in a final-stage election such as general elections, special elections, school board elections, and school district referendums. However, people younger than 18 years of age can vote in any preliminary election, such as primary elections, if they will be 18 years of age at the time of the final-stage election.

An Act To Amend Title 15 Relating To Voter Registration.

Sen. Bryan Townsend [D]

Rep. John Viola [D]

Rep. Earl Jaques [D]
