Check your registration and polling place
The Delaware Department of Elections runs the official lookup for your registration status, your polling place, your sample ballot, and absentee requests. Registering, checking your status, and requesting an absentee ballot all happen at the state’s voter portal.
Confirm dates, hours, and early voting locations there before you head out. Absentee rules in Delaware have their own requirements and deadlines, so check the state’s absentee page rather than relying on us. Official information always wins over a campaign website, including this one.
Am I in District 2?
District 2 runs from the Pennsylvania line down to the Wilmington city line, and from the Red Clay Creek east past Concord Pike. It includes Talleyville, Fairfax, McDaniel Heights, Blue Rock Manor, Oak Lane Manor, Talleys Corner, the Branmar area, Centreville, Greenville, Montchanin, Rockland, Winterthur, Westover Hills, and neighborhoods in between.
If you’re in 19810, 19803, or 19807 you’re very likely in District 2, but district lines don’t follow ZIP codes exactly. Your sample ballot at the link above will confirm it.
What’s actually on this ballot
County council sets the county property tax rate, the sewer rates, and the county budget. That’s the seat. If you want to know how those numbers got where they are, we laid out the whole story of your tax bill, with every claim sourced. If you want to know what I’d do about it, that’s the plan.
Help win this
This race comes down to a few thousand neighbors. Signs matter. Doors matter more. If you can spare an afternoon, a driveway, or a kitchen table for coffee with ten neighbors, that’s how this gets done.
