General Election Preview

9/26/2024

By Tyler Micik
 
The General Election is on Tuesday, November 5th. Below is an overview of the statewide and State House and Senate races, which you’ll see on the ballot. All Delaware’s statewide races have two or more candidates running for office.
 
As for the State House and Senate races, only two Senate Districts (2 and 6), are ones in which the incumbents have an opponent. They are Democratic Senators Brown and Huxtable. In the House there are 21 seats up for grabs. Six incumbent Republicans are facing a Democrat opponent, twelve incumbent Democrats are facing a Republican opponent, and there’s three open seats (10, 14, and 21).
 
It’s important to note that if all incumbents in the House of Representatives, on both sides of the aisle, hold onto their seats and Democrats pick up the three open seats, that would bring their total to 27. This would be an increase in one seat from their current count of 26. Therefore, this increases their decision-making power, which is important for bills or actions that require a specific number of votes.
 
For example, a 3/5 bill requires 25 votes. Those bills include things like overriding a Governor’s veto and imposing or increasing a tax. A 2/3 bill requires 28 votes and includes actions like amending the Constitution or enacting corporation law and municipal charters. A 3/4 bill requires 31 votes and usually includes things like creating debts and appropriations outside the government.
 
Seats marked with an asterisk represent an open seat. Seats up for grabs are marked in red.
