No governor's race, no judicial elections. Here's what is actually up.
Delaware's 2026 statewide ballot is short, so this guide covers all of it: the U.S. Senate seat, the at-large U.S. House seat, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and Auditor of Accounts, in plain language and with nobody telling you how to vote.

The strongest case for each side
For every statewide race, the best honest argument each way. Equal space, no endorsement.
Why your ballot is so short
Delaware has no governor's race, no ballot measures, and no judicial elections this cycle, because its judges are appointed rather than elected. We explain what that leaves you voting on.
Thin coverage, disclosed
Two of these Republican nominees reached the ballot outside the normal filing process, and almost nothing has been published about them. We say so plainly instead of inventing detail.
Sourced, not spun
Every factual claim is tied to reporting and official records, listed at the back.
What's inside
Two federal seats and three statewide offices.
U.S. Senate
Chris Coons, in office since 2010, against first-time Republican nominee Michael Katz.
U.S. House
Delaware elects one representative statewide: Sarah McBride against Joseph Arminio.
Attorney General
Kathy Jennings seeks a third term against a CPA the state party added to the ballot after no Republican filed.
State Treasurer
Two candidates who agree on protecting the AAA credit rating and disagree on whose background does it.
Auditor of Accounts
Lydia York's bid for a second term, in a race with an opponent almost nothing is published about.
Read your ballot

Is it partisan?
No. PolitiGeist is independent and makes no endorsement in any race. The point is the strongest case for each candidate.
What does it cover?
U.S. Senate, the at-large U.S. House seat, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and Auditor of Accounts. Delaware has no governor's race, no statewide ballot measures, and no judicial elections in 2026; legislative and local races aren't included.
Why is Delaware cheaper than other states?
Because the ballot is genuinely shorter. Pricing follows how much is actually on it, not a flat rate per state.
