2020 ELECTIONS Delaware’s Primary is being held on Tuesday, September 15. Hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at all polling locations. YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR YOUR REGISTERED PARTY’S CANDIDATES IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION. People that are registered Independent, Libertarian or Green Party have very few choices in the primary election. And you had to be registered to vote by August 22. The General Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at all polling locations. All registered voters can vote in this election but must be registered by October 10.

Need to find your polling place? Request a mail-in ballot (also known as Absentee)? Need to register to vote? Visit Vote.org (National) or ivote.de.gov/voterview (Delaware only). If you do not have access to a computer, you can register to vote at the DMV or your local and state election offices. Delaware has new voting machines with big touch screens! The machines generate a ballot that you can inspect and either accept or change before your vote is cast. There are volunteers at every polling place that will familiarize you with them. Watch a 2-minute video on how to use them here: https://youtu.be/EX51pU8rxYo.

These are the elected officials that impact your daily life in Delaware, and many of us know our local elected officials personally. Most of the Democrats running for office will not have a Republican foe in November, so the Primary Election will decide who wins. If you care about who represents you, vote on September 15.
