Delaware lawmakers are proposing a series of bills to revamp the states primary election system, aiming to increase voter turnout and convenience ahead of the 2026 midterms. Key changes include moving the primary date to match the presidential primary, allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in party primaries, and mandating primaries for special legislative elections. These reforms aim to address the issue of Delawares late primary date, which has led to lower voter participation. With nearly half of Americans now identifying as independents, lawmakers emphasize the importance of convenience in boosting participation. Several bills have gained traction, and if passed, they could significantly alter the way Delawareans select candidates for the midterms.
