Delaware seats scoreboard

Unofficial

Unofficial results. Posted by the state as official: The 2026 numbers are the Department of Elections’ files marked OFFICIAL RESULTS (report time 2026-11-10 13:49 ET, retrieved 2026-11-13). The Superior Court in each county sits as the Board of Canvass; we did not fetch a court return, so this is the state’s own results page and not a court return. “Leads” means ahead in the count, not a call. The 20 county offices on the 2026 ballot are not shown.

As of , unofficial, per the Department of Elections’ results files (elections.delaware.gov): 57 Delaware contests are loaded. In the unofficial count, Statewide (4 contests): Republicans lead 0, Democrats lead 4; U.S. House (1 contest): Republicans lead 0, Democrats lead 1; State Senate (11 contests): Republicans lead 3, Democrats lead 8; State House (41 contests): Republicans lead 11, Democrats lead 30. A lead is not a call.

Pick an office on the left and a filter on top. Every contest is one row, set against the same seat in 2022 and 2024. Everyone sees the statewide contests and the five closest seats in each chamber; Pro opens every district.

Read this with the numbers:
  • Delaware has three counties: New Castle, Kent and Sussex. The City of Wilmington is part of New Castle County and the state also lists it separately; it is not a fourth county here.
  • The U.S. Senate seat on the 2026 ballot (Chris Coons’s seat) is not the seat on the 2024 ballot, so the 2024 U.S. Senate column on the county page is the vote for a different seat. The seats grid does not compare it.
  • There is no governor, lieutenant governor or insurance commissioner race in 2026. Those offices were on the 2024 ballot and are in the comparison menu.
  • Only contests that are statewide appear on the county page. State Senate, State House and county-office contests are listed by the state for all three counties with zeros outside the district, so they are shown on the seats page only (county offices are not shown).
  • Write-in votes are not in the state’s result files and are not counted here.

The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows the Department of Elections’ own results files (marked OFFICIAL RESULTS), not matched to a court return. See the state page.

Sources and method

  • 2026: the Department of Elections’ results files, read Fri, 13 Nov 2026 05:47:01 GMT. Posted on the state's own official-results page, attributed; not certified. Statewide contests (checksum 367f31e3cefd) U.S. House (checksum 367f31e3cefd) State Senate (checksum 367f31e3cefd) State House (checksum 367f31e3cefd)
  • 2022 and 2024: the Department of Elections’ own results pages for the 2022 and 2024 general elections (they say OFFICIAL RESULTS; read as the state’s page, not as a court return), summed over each district’s counties. 2022 (checksum 214b4db37ded) 2024 (checksum a5b49bb6d207)
  • District maps: There are no State House, State Senate or U.S. House district maps on this page yet; the seats are shown on the grid only.
  • Which seats appear: every contest in the Department of Elections’ files except the 20 county offices: the U.S. Senate seat, the at-large U.S. House seat, Attorney General, Auditor of Accounts, State Treasurer, 11 State Senate districts and all 41 State House districts. The U.S. Senate seat is not the seat on the 2024 ballot, so it has no earlier column. A seat with one named candidate reads Unopposed instead of a percentage; a seat with no Republican or no Democrat reads No R or No D instead of a margin. Write-in votes are not in the state’s files.
  • Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes in the seat. A seat with one candidate shows “Unopposed”. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the year you compare with. Leads change: the leading party in the unofficial count differs from the latest earlier contest for the same seat (2024 if it was on the ballot, otherwise 2022). It describes the count so far; nothing is called.
  • District lines: Delaware’s one U.S. House seat is statewide, so there are no congressional lines to redraw. The 21 State Senate and 41 State House districts are the plan the Department of Elections lists for 2022 to 2032, with the same numbers in 2022, 2024 and 2026. We did not check whether a court or a later act changed any line since 2022. Eleven State Senate seats are up in 2026; they compare with 2022, when all 21 seats were on the ballot.
