In this Delaware town, companies and trusts can cast votes in local elections.

Fenwick Island, Delaware, allows non-human entities like companies and family trusts to register as voters. While the town maintains this system functions well for their small community, some lawmakers are now pushing to end the practice.

Fenwick Island is a small beach community with approximately 900 people on its voting rolls. Among these registered voters are entities that are not human, specifically family trusts and a limited number of companies.

The town officials argue that this unique electoral structure is effective for their specific needs. However, the practice has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers who are currently attempting to intervene and stop non-human entities from participating in local voting.
