When is the 2026 Delaware general election?

What races are on the ballot in Delaware in 2026?
Delaware's November 3, 2026 ballot includes a regular U.S. Senate election for the seat held by Chris Coons, the state's at-large U.S. House seat, and statewide executive races for attorney general, treasurer and auditor. Seats in the Delaware General Assembly are also up. There is no governor or lieutenant governor election until 2028.
How does Delaware's primary work?
Delaware holds closed primaries: only voters registered with the Democratic Party can vote in the Democratic primary, and only registered Republicans can vote in the Republican primary. The 2026 primary takes place September 15, after a May 29 party-change deadline that has already passed. There is no runoff; the leading vote-getter in each primary becomes the nominee.
Why is the 2026 Delaware US Senate race important?
Delaware does not hold a governor election in 2026. Matt Meyer, the Democrat elected in 2024, serves through January 2029, and the office next appears on the ballot in 2028. The state's consequential 2026 contests are instead the U.S. Senate seat held by Chris Coons, the at-large U.S. House seat, and statewide offices including attorney general.
