The 2020 Delaware House of Representatives elections took place as part of the biennial 2020 United States elections. Delaware voters elected state representatives in all 41 districts. State representatives serve two-year terms in the Delaware House of Representatives. The election coincided with elections for other offices, including the Presidency, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, Governor, and state senate. The primary election was held on September 15, 2020.[1] Following the previous election in 2018, Democrats retained control of the Delaware House with 26 seats to Republicans' 15 seats. To reclaim control of the chamber from Democrats, Republicans needed to net six House seats. Democrats retained control of the Delaware House following the 2020 general election, with the balance of power remaining unchanged: 26 Democrats to 15 Republicans.
