House Bill 25

Delaware currently makes voters register 25 days before an election, one of the longest deadlines allowed by federal law.

Same-Day Registration (SDR) eliminates the need for advance registration by allowing eligible voters to register and cast a ballot at the same time on Election Day or during an early voting period. By combining registration and voting, SDR streamlines the voting process, eases the burden on voters, and increases voter participation.
