Vote by Mail not Permitted in the General Election

Please be advised that the Delaware Supreme Court, in its Order dated October 7, 2022, has ruled that the Delaware statute authorizing Vote by Mail in the General Election violates the Delaware Constitution and therefore voting by mail is not permitted.

NO vote by mail ballots have been or will be mailed out for the 2022 General Election.
