To better prepare for the possibility that Delaware will need to take extraordinary steps to ensure the ability of all residents to safely cast ballots this fall, lawmakers filed legislation Friday that would allow for vote-by-mail in the 2020 state primary and general elections. The measure, an amendment sponsored by Rep. David Bentz, would eliminate an enactment date on an existing vote-by-mail bill. Currently, House Bill 175, sponsored by Rep. Gerald Brady, would allow voters to vote-by-mail beginning in 2022. Removing the enactment date would mean the bill would take effect upon General Assembly passage and Governor John Carney signing the measure into law.
