Delaware – A proposed amendment to Delaware’s constitution could pave the way for same-day voter registration across the state. House Bill 88, introduced Tuesday, seeks to remove the current requirement that voter registration closes weeks before an election, granting lawmakers the authority to allow registration and voting in a single trip. The proposal follows a 2022 Delaware Supreme Court ruling that struck down a previous same-day registration law, citing the need for a constitutional amendment. If approved, HB 88 would give the General Assembly power to set voter registration laws while ensuring safeguards for accuracy and integrity, such as valid identification requirements. Currently, 23 states and Washington, D.C. allow same-day registration. House Bill 88 has been assigned to the House Administration Committee for review.
