In 34 states, citizens are able to request mail-in ballots without needing an excuse. It is a safe, secure, and easy means of voting which can increase voter participation significantly. House Bill 75 aims to permanently guarantee the right to no-excuse mail-in voting by amending the Delaware State Constitution and providing the General Assembly with power to regulate the rules, and procedures for absentee voting.
