Delaware's at-large congressional district
Coverage: this seat is included in the 2026 national listing. State candidate coverage class: candidate coverage verified from the state's official list. Absence of candidate rows is not evidence that a race has no candidates — see the coverage ledger.
Candidate source
Candidate source: Delaware Department of Elections — General Election 11/3/2026 Filed Candidates by Office (retrieved 2026-09-28). Absence of a candidate row is never evidence that a race has no candidates.
How the candidate list was checked
Rows read from the official source: 128 · published here: 4 · left out by rule: 123 · held back for review: 1. Official DE 'General Election 11/3/2026 Filed Candidates by Office' table. The candidate cell combines name + mailing address + email + website with NO separate name column; the name is extracted as the text before 'Mailing Address:'. This repairs the earlier parse whose name extraction returned empty strings. US Senate (Class 2, Coons seat, regular) + at-large House.
Boundaries and sources
County–district classifications come from official block-assignment files, cross-checked against Census representations; render geometry is display-only.

This seat's geography is exactly coterminous with its state (or the District), so the state estimates from the same edition apply directly.
Structural five-year survey conditions — not current monthly conditions. Uncertainties are 90% margins of error: the published ACS margin for median income; Census-formula approximations (ACS handbook ch. 8) for the rates. “Margin unavailable” means the source supplies no usable margin — never zero.
Campaign finances
2025-2026 two-year period (FEC cycle 2026). Committee totals are the FEC’s own candidate-level aggregation — never summed from committee rows here. Independent spending is reported separately and is never part of a candidate’s receipts. An FEC registration is not proof of ballot qualification; candidacy status comes verbatim from the accepted release.
General election · November 3, 2026
“No matching FEC candidate record” means no filing was located — it is never evidence that a candidacy does not exist, and never a ballot-status claim. Candidates’ coverage dates can differ; each row carries its own.
