Per Article III, Section 2 of the state constitution, Delaware elects governors in presidential election years, that is, leap years. In Delaware, 2016, 2020, 2024 and 2028 are all gubernatorial election years. The winner is inaugurated on the third Tuesday in the January following an election.

In the event that two candidates receive the exact same vote tally, a joint session of the legislature casts ballots to choose one-third of the members of each chamber to make up a special joint committee, which will in turn cast ballots for the governor. In the even more unlikely event that the legislature is similarly tied, the president of the Delaware State Senate shall have the deciding vote (§ 4).[1]

    Vacancies

    See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled

    Details of vacancies are addressed under Article III, Section 20.

    The Lieutenant Governor of Delaware is the first in line to become either the acting governor or the governor in the event that the elected officer is unable or unwilling to discharge the office, either temporarily or permanently. If the lieutenant governorship is likewise vacant, the descending order of succession is the Delaware Secretary of State, the Attorney General of Delaware, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House.

    Any of these officers who takes over the governor's duties is understood to have given up his or her previous office.

    In the event of physical or mental inability to discharge the office, the governor may deliver a written statement to the Assembly to that effect. Alternately, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Delaware, the President of the Medical Society of Delaware, and the Commissioner of the Department of Mental Health, acting unanimously, may declare the governor unfit. In either of these events, the lieutenant governor becomes the acting governor, pending a vote of the assembly to make the appointment permanent (§ 20).

    Duties

    Delaware

    The Governor of Delaware is, under § 8 of the state constitution, head of the state's military forces, unless said forces have already been called into service by the federal government. The governor makes, with state senate confirmation, all appointments mandated by the Constitution and also fills all vacancies that do not have an alternate method for filling vacancies prescribed by law (§ 9).

    Excepting the lieutenant governor and members of the state legislature, the governor may remove any other elected officer for any cause, provided he or she secures a two-thirds vote in each chamber of the Assembly (§ 13). Periodically, in accordance with § 15, the Governor must address the Assembly, detailing the state of Delaware and making recommendations.

    § 18 gives the governor a veto over all bills, including appropriations, subject to a three-fifths majority override in both legislative houses.[1]

    Other duties and privileges of the office include:

    • Making and signing all commissions granted by the state of Delaware (§ 12).
    • Requiring written reports from any member of the Executive on any aspects of the particular officer's job (§ 14).
    • Convening extraordinary sessions of the General Assembly by proclamation, adjourning the Assembly when that body cannot agree on an adjourning date, and convening the Senate for executive business (§ 16).
    • Seeing to the faithful execution of all laws (§ 17).

    State budget

    Role in state budget

    See also: Delaware state budget and finances

    The state operates on an annual budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:[4]

    1. In July, the governor sends budget instructions to state agencies.
    2. In October, agencies submit their budget requests to the governor.
    3. Budget hearings are held with the public in November.
    4. On or before February 1, the governor submits his or her proposed budget to the state legislature.
    5. The legislature must pass a budget with a simple majority by June 30. The fiscal year begins on July 1.

    The governor is statutorily required to submit a balanced budget to the legislature. In turn, the legislature must pass a balanced budget, and any budget signed into law by the governor must be balanced.[4]

    Delaware is one of 44 states in which the governor has line item veto authority.[4][5]

    Delaware maintains two major governmental funds: the General Fund and the Special Fund. Within the Special Fund, there are four category types: Appropriated Special Funds (ASF), Non-appropriated Special Funds (NSF), Federal Funds, and Bond Funds.[6]

    Governor's office budget

    The budget for the Governor's Office in the Fiscal Year 2024 was $3,736,400.[7]

    Compensation

    See also: Comparison of gubernatorial salaries and Compensation of state executive officers

    The salaries of Delaware's elected state executives are determined by state law as mandated by the Delaware Constitution. Article III of the state constitution requires that salary changes not take effect until after the current terms of affected offices. [1]

    The Delaware State Legislature created the Delaware Compensation Commission in 1984 to determine state executive salaries. This commission consists of six members including two appointees by the governor, one appointee each by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Delaware State Senate, the current chair of the Delaware Business Roundtable and the director of the state Office of Management and Budget. Commissioners meet every four years to make salary recommendations, which are implemented unless the Delaware State Legislature rejects the entirety of the report. From 1985 to 2013, the commission's report was only rejected once by legislators, who submitted their own salary increases for executives officials in 1993.[8]

    History

    The Delaware Constitution of 1776 provided for the first executives of the independent state of Delaware. They were known as "presidents," rather than "governors," as they were to preside rather than govern. In keeping with the general reaction to the perceived excessive executive authority of the British, the Delaware General Assembly dominated the government. Accordingly, state legislators elected the president and their legislation became law with or without his approval. Legislation was never subject to any possibility of a veto. Indeed, the state constitution forced the presidents to share what authority as they had with a four person Privy Council, also appointed by the General Assembly. The council was required to approve all appointments and other decisions of the president in order for them to become law.

    Upon the passage of the Delaware Constitution of 1792, the office was renamed governor and the Privy Council was abolished. At first, governors served for a term of three years, but beginning with the election of 1832 they have been elected to terms of four years. Since 1896 they have been eligible for re-election, but only for one term. They have been chosen in the same general election as the U.S. President since 1896, and take office the third Tuesday of the following January.

    Partisan breakdown of the Delaware governorship from 1992-2013

    From 1992-2013, Delaware had Democratic governors in office for the last 21 years while there was a Republican governor in office only for the first year. Delaware is one of seven states that were run by a Democratic governor for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. During the final five years of the study, Delaware was under Democratic trifectas.

    Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992 to 2013.

    Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.

    The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Delaware, the Delaware State Senate and the Delaware House of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.

    SQLI and partisanship

    The chart below depicts the partisanship of the Delaware state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. For twelve out of the twenty years observed during the study, Delaware ranked in the top-10 of the SQLI ranking. The state dropped out of the top-10 for a period between 1996 and 1999, hitting the rank of 16th before climbing back into the top-10 for eight more years. It again dropped out of the top-10 in 2008 and has remained out of the top rankings since then. Delaware has never had a Republican trifecta, but has had a Democratic trifecta since 2009. In the state’s longest period of divided government, there was a Democratic governor, a Democratic state senate and a Republican state house. Delaware achieved its highest SQLI ranking (3rd) in 2003 and 2004 under divided government, and its lowest ranking (20th) in 2012 under a Democratic trifecta.

    Gubernatorial residence

    Governors of Delaware have an official residence at Woodburn, a two story Georgian brick mansion, built by Charles Hillyard, III in 1790 on land that is now located in the capitol city of Dover.

    According to local legend, the home has at least one resident ghost, an older gentleman in colonial-era dress. Woodburn is also popularly believed to have been a safe house on the Underground Railroad.

    Woodburn was briefly leased to a sitting governor in the 1820s before reverting to a private residence. In 1965, Governor and First Lady Charles L. Terry, Jr. officially secured Woodburn for the state of Delaware. Following Mrs. Terry's refurbishment of the mansion, it became the official gubernatorial residence in 1966.

    Woodburn is open to the public, by appointment only, through admission is free.[20]
