A general election was held in the U.S. state of Delaware on November 6, 2018. Half of Delaware's executive officers were up for election as well as a United States Senate seat and Delaware's at-large seat in the United States House of Representatives. Primary elections were held on September 6, 2018.[1]
In the general election, Democrats took over all statewide offices and defeated two of the highest ranking Republicans in the Delaware General Assembly.[2][3][4] Those races were all won by Democratic women, putting a record number of women in statewide elected offices in Delaware.[5] The Democratic Party became the first party to hold all nine statewide offices in Delaware since the Republican Party in 1970.[6]
