Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Delaware, individuals lose their voting rights upon conviction of a felony. However, once they complete their term of incarceration, probation, and/or parole, their voting rights are immediately restored, regardless of any outstanding fines, fees, costs, or restitution. It's important to note that individuals convicted of specific disqualifying felonies may need to obtain a pardon before being eligible to vote. Pretrial detention and misdemeanors do not have any impact on an individual's voting rights. For more information, visit your state’s resource page.  

Voters without traditional residence: 

Voters in Delaware lacking a fixed residence or who are unhoused and are otherwise qualified to vote in the state may register by completing the proper registration forms and providing two pieces of identification containing their name; one of the pieces must include the mailing address on the application, which may be a shelter or agency.
