The 2024 Delaware lieutenant gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the lieutenant governor of Delaware, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various other state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third term in office; she is instead running for governor. Primaries are being held on September 10.[1]
As Ruth Briggs King was the only Republican candidate who qualified, the Republican primary was cancelled.[2]
