Fenwick Island

The ACLU of Delaware is appealing the dismissal of its lawsuit against the town of Fenwick Island for allowing non-human entities to vote in town elections.

A Superior Court judge recently ruled the town of Fenwick Island’s policy allowing artificial entities like LLCs to vote in its municipal elections is legal, rejecting an ACLU lawsuit against the small coastal town challenging the practice.Although it was a lower court ruling that didn't set policy or precedent for the state, the decision attracted attention from national media outlets.And a leading House Democrat is seeking to amend Delaware’s constitution, to end the practice of these entities voting in Delaware elections.This week, Delaware Public Media state politics reporter Bente Bouthier delved into this issue with Lawrence Cunningham, Director of University of Delaware’s John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance.

Fenwick Island permitted corporations to cast votes in its 2024 municipal elections, which ACLU counsel argued is unconstitutional in Delaware.
