Delaware Election Results 2026: Voting has ended

When you arrive at a polling place or 2026 advance-voting site in Delaware, poll workers ask you to show proof of identity, but Delaware does not require a photo ID to vote in state and federal elections and does not have a defined list of acceptable forms of identification. If you are at your correct polling place or an 2026 advance-voting site and your name is on the poll list but you do not show identification, you fill out a form called an Affirmation of Voter Identity and are then permitted to vote.

You may register to vote in Delaware if you are a citizen of the United States, are a resident of Delaware (Delaware is your home) and will be 18 years old on or before the date of the next General Election; people 16 or older obtaining a driver's license can register at the DMV and become eligible once they meet the age rule. You may not register if you have been adjudged mentally incompetent, were convicted of a felony and have not fully discharged your sentence, or were convicted of a disqualifying felony and have not been pardoned.

A person convicted of a felony in Delaware may register and vote if they have fully discharged their sentence and were not convicted of a disqualifying felony under the State Constitution. Disqualifying felonies are murder or manslaughter (except vehicular homicide), any felony offense against public administration involving bribery, improper influence or abuse of office, and any felony sexual offense; a person convicted of one of these must be pardoned to register. Payment of fees, fines, costs or restitution is not considered in determining whether a sentence is discharged.
