Delaware Voting Rights Coalition

Under the umbrella of the Delaware Voting Rights Coalition, we are advocates encouraging voters and policymakers to consider reforms that will improve access to voting.

We are Delaware's first statewide coalition of voting rights organizations and advocates. Under the umbrella of the Delaware Voting Rights Coalition, we encourage voters and policymakers to consider reforms that will improve access to voting.

We empower communities, especially communities of color, people who speak English as a second language, people involved in the justice system, people with disabilities, and young people, to identify and remedy barriers to the ballot box. We are ready to work with legislators, local election officials, and the Department of Elections to make these reform recommendations a reality.

To get in touch with our coalition, please email Andrew Bernstein at [email protected].

NEW: 2026 School Board Elections DVRC Voter Guide

We're excited to announce the re-launch of the Delaware Voting Rights' Coalition's (DVRC) comprehensive voter guide, How to Vote in Delaware’s School Board Elections. The guide, available in both English and Spanish, features information on the races, what voting options are available for voters, as well as links to all the resources any voter will need for more info.

What We Support

We want to ensure that everyone who has the right to vote can exercise that right in a meaningful, transparent, safe, and secure manner. We support reforms that broaden access for all eligible voters to register and cast their ballots.

In 2026, we are advocating for reforms that:

  • Ensure all registered voters can cast a mail ballot;
  • Protect early, in-person voting;
  • Implement same-day voter registration;
  • Educate all eligible voters about the option to vote early or by mail;
  • Expand voting options for eligible incarcerated voters and restore voting rights after felony incarceration; and
  • Expand and enhance accessibility of our elections and of public education materials and events for voters with disabilities and voters who do not speak English.

Every Vote Counts Campaign

The Delaware Voting Rights Coalition is proud to partner with the ACLU of Delaware's Every Vote Counts Campaign, a multi-year effort to amend Delaware's constitution, bring our state into the 21st century, and ensure Delaware becomes a beacon of democracy and strong voter engagement.

The campaign aims to:

  1. Restore voting rights after felony incarceration,
  2. Protect and expand early in-person and vote-by-mail, and
  3. Implement same-day voter registration.

Disability Rights Delaware's 2024 General Election Accessibility Report

On June 30, 2025, the Disability Rights Delaware (DRD) of Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI) released a new report with findings from its most comprehensive polling place assessment to date, which surveyed over 90% of Delaware’s polling places and found that more than half violated accessible parking laws.
