Voting Rights

The right to vote, and to have one’s vote accurately and fairly counted, is a fundamental right of all American citizens — and one that underpins the rest of our civil liberties.

Yet barriers to voting exist everywhere in our society and impact our most marginalized communities at a disproportionate rate. Everything from insufficient voter education around eligibility and registration, to accessibility issues for voters with disabilities and non-English speakers, results in a less equitable and representative society for us all.

At the ACLU of Delaware, we believe that all who wish to vote should be able to do so. That’s why we push back against attacks on voting rights and advocate for reforms and improved technologies — such as new voting machines, early voting, same-day voter registration, and no-excuse absentee voting — to improve access to the ballot.
