A Delaware judge has upheld a small-town charter allowing companies and other legal entities to participate in local elections. This comes after the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware (ACLU) sued the town, arguing the provision was unconstitutional.
The ruling centers on the beach town of Fenwick Island, where Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz rejected the ACLU’s challenge to a local voting system that allows corporations, trusts, partnerships, and limited liability companies to cast ballots in municipal elections if they own property in town.
