Among the 148,738 ballots whose voter’s party is known. This is who is registered with each party, not how anyone voted.
Delaware does not report in-person early votes, so this total is a floor, not the whole early vote.
Counts as of November 2, 2026, from civicAPI (opens in a new tab), which collects them from state election offices. Party is the voter’s registration, never how they voted, and many states report none.
