Seaford, Delaware is seeking to give business entities the right to vote in local elections.
For a small town of about 8,500 people, that's a voter turnout of only 4%.
A new bill now being considered in the small town, however, could help increase those numbers.
Seaford's town leaders want to give corporations based there the right to vote.
In April, Seaford Mayor David Grenshaw cast the tie-breaking city council vote to amend the city's charter, giving business entities — ranging from small businesses to large corporations — the right to vote in local elections.
