In Delaware, adult citizens have a right to vote in elections.   This includes persons with disabilities, even those with guardians.   Only a judge can remove the right of a person with a disability to vote based on a written order that clearly states that the person’s mental disability prevents use of basic voting judgment.   Register to vote as soon as you turn 18 (or before, if you will be 18 on the date of the next General Election) if you want to exercise this important right.  You can learn more about voting for people with disabilities at http://www.declasi.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/the_right_to_vote_in_delaware.pdf.

 

You can register to vote:

• At any Department of Elections Office for your county;
• A mobile registration site;
• Call an Elections Office and have a registration form mailed to you;
• At the Motor Vehicle Office or a Social Service Office; or
•  Online at: https://registertovote.elections.delaware.gov/voterreg/TermsAgreement.
