Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about voting in The First State.
When do polling locations open and close?
Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Early voting locations, from Oct. 29 through Nov. 3, will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. For a list of early voting sites, visit elections.delaware.gov/elections/votinglocations.shtml .
How do I find my polling place?
