What is the process of voting?
In Delaware, voting is a complex process that involves several steps. The first step is to register to vote. To do this, you must be a US citizen, 18 years of age, a resident of Delaware, and able to meet the state’s eligibility requirements. You can register to vote online, by mail, or in person at your county’s election office. Once you are registered, you will receive a voter information packet in the mail, which includes information about your polling place, ballot, and voting instructions. You can also find this information at your local county election office. On the day of the election, you will need to bring a valid form of identification, such as a driver’s license or a state-issued ID. Once you are at your designated polling place, you will receive your ballot. You will then have the opportunity to vote for your desired candidates. You may either complete your ballot manually or electronically, depending on your county’s requirements. Once you have completed your ballot, you will insert it into the ballot box or hand it to a poll worker. Afterward, you will receive your “I Voted” sticker to show that you participated in the election. Finally, your ballot will be counted and tallied with those of other Delaware voters. The official election results will be reported to the Delaware Department of Elections and the information will be made available to the public.
