Ballot Questions
There were no statewide ballot questions this year (this section is retained and noted for completeness): Delaware constitutional amendments are adopted by two successive legislatures and are not put to a statewide popular vote.
U.S. House

State House flip: in District 34 (Kent County), Democrat Annie Norman defeated Republican incumbent Lyndon Yearick by 4,905 votes to 4,755. Three Republican seats flipped to Democrats overall with no Democratic seat lost; the districts and winners for the other two flips will be added when confirmed.
State Senate: 21 seats, 11 up this year and 10 not on the ballot. Democrats kept control at 15-6 over Republicans, retaining a two-thirds majority, with no flip of control.
