Urge House Leadership to Restore Voting Rights and End Voter Disenfranchisement

Most recent signers:

The message:

House Bill 180 would restore voting rights to people with felony convictions after imprisonment, allow people on probation and parole to vote, and remove certain barriers to voting eligibility.

Delaware is as an outlier when it comes to felony disenfranchisement—barring all individuals on felony parole or probation from voting, and disenfranchising some for life.

Delaware is the only Northeastern state that permanently disenfranchises some returning citizens, and one of just 10 nationwide to do so for non-election-related offenses.

Nearly 3/4 of Delawareans support restoring voting rights to people with felonies upon their release.

The recipient:

Delaware House leadership

The impact:

As of 2024, nearly 3,000 Delawareans were prohibited from voting while on felony probation.

No one should be denied the right to vote because of a past conviction.

Under HB 180, thousands of returning citizens regain the right to vote.

We need you to send an URGENT message to House leadership demanding they commit to restoring voting rights and ending voter disenfranchisement.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
