The ACLU of Delaware announced on June 2 that it plans to appeal the dismissal of its lawsuit challenging Fenwick Island’s practice of allowing certain non-human entities, including corporations and limited liability companies, to vote in municipal elections.

A recent vote in the Delaware House has passed a bill allowing businesses, including corporations, LLCs, and trusts, to participate in municipal elections. However, the decision has faced opposition from voter rights groups that raise concerns about potential voting abuse and unequal representation.
