Delaware House Amends Primary Date Bill to Avoid Forcing Minor Parties to Nominate by April

On April 4, the Delaware House passed HB 89, which moves the primary for all office from September to April. However, the House amended the bill so that it doesn’t change the deadline for minor parties to make their nominations. Under the amended bill, their convention can remain as late as August.

The vote on the bill was 34-6. Now the bill goes to the Senate.
