Subject Our Elections Board Has Been Dark for Months — Primary Is Four Weeks Away

Delaware's Board of Elections was created to make sure our elections are run fairly and securely. That's not a small thing. Every voter in this state — no matter which party they support — deserves to know someone is watching over that process. But the board hasn't held a single meeting in 2026. Every scheduled monthly meeting this year has been canceled. And right now, with the midterm primary roughly one month away, that board is still dark.

This matters because the board exists precisely for moments like this one. Pre-primary is when election security questions come up, when procedures need to be reviewed, when the public has a right to watch that oversight happen in an open meeting. Instead, we have a spokesperson telling us the board simply can't convene. That's not a reassurance — that's a gap. Voters shouldn't have to wonder who is doing this work or whether it's being done at all. The closer we get to Election Day without a functioning oversight board, the harder it is to have confidence that problems — if any arise — were caught in time.

I'm asking you to intervene now: publicly call on the Department of Elections to immediately resolve whatever is blocking this board and get them into a meeting before the primary takes place.

Please make sure Delaware's Elections Oversight Board meets before we go to the polls.

Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [your city/town]. I'm reaching out because Delaware's Board of Elections hasn't held a single meeting in 2026, and our primary is only about a month away.
The board was created specifically to oversee our elections and keep them secure. When it goes dark right before a primary, that's not normal — and it's not okay.
I'm asking the representative to publicly call on the Department of Elections to fix whatever is blocking the board and get them into a meeting before Election Day.
Voters like me need to know someone is watching over this process. Please act on this now — I vote.
