How to Search Delaware Voter Records (Start Here)

Voter registration records in Delaware are maintained by county election offices and the state Secretary of State (or equivalent). Voter rolls are public records in most states, but access rules vary.

What this page covers: Delaware voter registration lookups, election results, and campaign filing databases. What it does not cover: How individuals voted (ballots are secret) or federal election data (that is on the FEC page).

Where to start: To verify your own voter registration, use the state's online voter lookup tool (usually on the Secretary of State website). For voter roll data, contact the county election office.

Common mistake: Voter registration records show who is registered and where — they do not show how someone voted. Ballot secrecy is protected by law.

Five Things People Get Wrong About Delaware Voter Records

❌ Myth: "Delaware voter rolls are secret."
✓ Truth: False. The list of registered voters is public in most states (sometimes with restrictions on commercial use).
❌ Myth: "Who I voted for is public."
✓ Truth: False. The ballot is secret. Only WHETHER you voted is recorded.
❌ Myth: "Federal government runs Delaware elections."
✓ Truth: False. Elections are run by 50 states + DC. The EAC sets standards, not administration.
❌ Myth: "Voter registration purges are illegal."
✓ Truth: False. NVRA allows list maintenance under specific rules. EAVS tracks this every 2 years.
❌ Myth: "I can buy a national voter file."
✓ Truth: False. There is no national voter file. You buy each state file separately (where allowed).

Undervotes: This indicates that a voter chose not to vote in all contests available to them on their ballot, or that they voted for less than the specified number of candidates a voter may vote for in a specific race, if that race permits a voter to choose more than one candidate (such as Wilmington City Council At Large, where a voter may vote for up to three (3) candidates). Another example of an undervote is a situation where a voter may vote for more than one seat up for election for the school board where they live, and chose not to vote for one or more of the school board seats.
