What's new in Delaware voting since 2020

Good news, Delaware! While a lot of states have been restricting voter access, you guys made things better in 2021! Delaware established automatic voter registration, which means that eligible voters who interact with government agencies like the DMV will automatically be registered and have their registration updated when necessary. Be aware that some of the rule changes that were made in 2020, like no-excuse absentee voting, were temporary and will not apply in 2022.
