- Same-day voter registration bill fails in the Delaware House, other voting legislation advances
Delaware lawmakers failed to pass a constitutional amendment allowing same-day voter registration, which requires two-thirds House support. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Bill Bush, failed along party lines with 26 Democrats voting yes and 13 Republicans and one Democrat voting no. Bush plans to reintroduce the measure before the legislative session ends.
