DCS: Still Fighting for a FULL BAN on Fracking in the Delaware River Basin
September 5, 2020
This year’s election is extremely important and so is your vote. In light of this, DCS will be posting information on early and mail in voting for the 4 Delaware River Basin states: Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Check back for further information.
Delaware
Delaware offers voting by mail, but does not offer early voting. You can hand deliver your mail-in ballot to your county election office. More information, including locations of secure ballot drop boxes, can be found here.
New Jersey
New Jersey offers voting by mail, but does not offer early voting or an in-person absentee ballot delivery option. In order to vote by mail, you must complete an Application for Vote by Mail Ballot, which is county specific. To receive your ballot by mail, the application must be received by the County Clerk 7 days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election. If you intend to vote by mail, we recommend that you get your application in well before the election. More information, including links to the county vote by mail applications, can be found here.
New York
EARLY VOTING
New York voters can vote before Election Day. The early voting period runs from Saturday, October 24, 2020 to Sunday, November 1, 2020, but dates and hours may vary based on where you live.
WHAT TO BRING
If you’ve voted in New York before, you don’t need to provide ID to vote.
If you’re a first-time voter who registered by mail, and didn’t provide a copy of your ID with your registration, you may need to show ID to vote. Acceptable forms include: a current and valid photo ID; or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address.

Will there be a specific proposal concerning fracking on the ballot? Are there local candidates you recommend we vote for on this issue?
Hi David.
We don’t know where you live; if you let us know, perhaps we can give you some information…of course,as a 501(c)3, we can’t endorse a specific candidate. Elections, as you probably know, are controlled by States, and within the states, there are county boards of elections; that county board will have all the information about local elections…and what is on your local ballot. If it’s not available online, we suggest you call and ask. Then, of course, each candidate can be researched online or by calling their campaign office (or calling them directly – if it is uber local and they don’t have a campaign office).
