Election Day Assistance
The State of Delaware provides handicapped accessible polling places and voting machines. Voters who need assistance can inform the Election Officers at the polls. Voters with special needs may also bring someone with them to help in the voting process. Voters who believe that their polling place is not accessible to them should contact the elections office in their county before the day of the election to make other arrangements to vote.
