Regular first Tuesday meeting for the Voting & Elections subcommittee of the LWVDE Advocacy Corps.

Committee members met with Delaware Elections Commissioner Anthony Albence on Wednesday 11/18/2020, and with some of the newly elected General Assembly members on 11/19 and 11/21, so part of this next meeting will be reviewing our 2021 legislative priorities in light of Anthony's input and the legislators interests.

Legislative priorties discussed for committee advocacy include the following:
    • No-excuse absentee voting
    • Implementing a permanent vote-by-mail option
    • Changing the primary election date
    • Extending the deadline for registering to vote
    • Allowing poll workers to work split shifts

New committee members are welcome!  Contact Jill Itzkowitz for details.
