Get Ready—Election Season Is Coming!

Election season is almost here, and now is the time to make sure you are ready to vote. Every election gives us an opportunity to speak up about the issues that affect our families, our neighborhoods, and our future.

Your voice matters, and your vote is your power.

Before Election Day, take a few minutes to check your voter registration status, confirm your polling location, and review the important dates below.

You do not have to wait until Election Day to make your voice heard. Early voting gives eligible Delaware voters additional opportunities to cast their ballots. Choose the date and time that work best for you, and make a plan to vote.

I also encourage you to remind your family members, friends, coworkers, and neighbors about the upcoming elections. Share these dates, help someone check their registration, and encourage the people in your community to participate.

Voting is one of the most important ways we can help shape our communities. When we vote, we have a say in the leadership and decisions that affect education, housing, healthcare, public safety, economic opportunity, and many other issues that matter to us.

Please don’t wait until the last minute. Get informed, make your voting plan, and be ready to let your voice be heard.

Your voice. Your power. Your vote.
