|
AN ACT TO AMEND THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF NEW CASTLE RELATING TO ELECTIONS. |
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (Two-thirds of all members elected to each house thereof concurring therein):
SECTION 1. Amend the Charter of the City of New Castle by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows:
Section 6. Election Procedures
(i)
On the day of the election, all polling places will
open at 7:00 a.m., local time and close at 7:00 p.m. 8:00 a.m., local
time and close at 6 p.m., local time, for the purpose of voting.
SYNOPSIS
|
This charter change reverts the times that polls will be open in the City of New Castle back to their original times.The earlier opening and later closing proved to be a burden on workers and the Department of Election and few voters arrived before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m. |
