DOVER, Del. — More than 148,000 Delawareans have already voted heading into Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to the Delaware Department of Elections’ Election Voted List, obtained by Delaware LIVE.

That’s 148,736 people, or 18% of the state’s 809,631 registered voters. Most of them, 129,584, voted early in person before early voting ended at 7 p.m. Sunday. Another 19,152 voted by absentee ballot.

That’s nearly double the 10% who voted early or by absentee ballot in the 2022 midterm, according to the state’s official results and registration totals. Figure 1 shows the full breakdown.

The total is up just 3,026 from late Sunday afternoon, when Delaware LIVE published its seven races to watch, and the party mix has barely changed. Party here means how voters are registered, not who they voted for.

(Note: Statewide totals count every voter on the list once. Delaware LIVE’s Sunday article added up the 21 Senate districts instead, which left out 537 voters with no Senate district on the list, so its statewide numbers were lower. Registered voters are as of Nov. 1. Registration totals by county council district are not published in the state’s reports. Source: Election Voted List, obtained by Delaware LIVE [Nov. 2, 2026].)
