Vote-type detail (Machine / Absentee / Early) for statewide races, as printed: Coons 93,514 / 15,867 / 83,811 · Katz 57,653 / 4,430 / 44,138 · McBride 94,720 / 16,035 / 84,909 · Arminio 56,302 / 4,393 / 43,437 · Jennings 93,815 / 15,405 / 84,006 · Graham 57,234 / 4,419 / 44,407 · Lauzen 91,688 / 15,046 / 82,499 · Ramone 59,058 / 4,819 / 45,759 · York 87,977 / 14,524 / 80,632 · Callaway 53,446 / 4,260 / 43,310 · Cassidy 9,112 / 1,005 / 4,052.
Media projections (NOT official counts): AP, CNN and ABC projected Chris Coons (U.S. Senate) and Sarah McBride (U.S. House) as winners shortly after the 8 p.m. poll close (Delaware Online live coverage, 8:13 p.m. and 9:05 p.m. entries). The official partial count above is consistent with those projections in direction, but the projections themselves are media calls, not Department of Elections results.

Kent Levy Court Districts 2 (Jeff Hall), 4 (Robert "Bobby" Scott) and 6 (Paul Hertz) were unopposed on the ballot per the Department of Elections filed-candidate list; their partial vote totals were not transcribed in the verified re-read and are omitted here rather than risk a wrong figure.

Notes for the next update
- Remaining ~34% of districts plus unfinished absentee tabulation (all three counties still in progress) will move these numbers; closest local watch: Senate District 15 (1,163-vote gap at 9:40 p.m.).
- An earlier live read at 9:35 p.m. data (324 of 530 districts, 61%) returned systematically garbled candidate first names; that pass was discarded and every name and figure above comes from the character-for-character verification re-read at the 9:40 p.m. data timestamp, checked against the Department's filed-candidate list.
- Update this page when the official page reaches full district reporting; label any race final only when the Department's count is complete.
