Delaware's new Electronic Voter Registration System was created through a partnership between the Department of Elections and the Division of Motor Vehicles, in coordination with the Department of Technology and Information. The goal of this system was to provide Delaware citizens with a streamlined method of registering and maintaining voter registration. Through the new process, citizens can initiate and update their voter registration information at the same time they obtain or make changes to their Delaware driver license or identification card. With this newly automated system, data is instantly transmitted to the Department of Elections. This data is also automatically checked through the Social Security Online Verification System, the federal Systematic Alien Verification of Entitlement, and the United States Postal Service to verify the data being transmitted is correct. By replacing the current method, the State expects to save thousands of taxpayer dollars in equipment, maintenance, and staff time, thus furthering the "Green Delaware" initiative objectives.
