How do you answer these questions in Delaware?

Delaware has two U.S. senators, Christopher A. Coons and Lisa Blunt Rochester. You only need to name one of them. A seat can change after an election, a resignation, or an appointment, so check the names again shortly before your interview.

Delaware has a single seat in the House of Representatives, so everyone who lives there names the same person: Sarah McBride.

Delaware is one of 6 states with a single at-large seat, so the whole state shares one representative.

The governor of Delaware is Matt Meyer. Governors change after elections, so name the person in office on the day of your interview.

The capital of Delaware is Dover.

The governor question is also on the shorter list for the 65/20 special consideration, which is for applicants who are 65 or older and have been permanent residents for 20 years or more when they file. They study 20 questions instead of 128.

How do these questions fit into the civics test?

On the 2025 civics test, the officer asks up to 20 questions from the list of 128, and you pass by answering 12 correctly. The four questions on this page are part of that list, so any of them may come up. If one does, answer for the place where you live at the time of your interview.

Officeholders can change at any time, after an election, a resignation, or an appointment. We update this page from official sources and show the date of the last check at the top.
