Like all districts in the state, the 12th Senate district is located entirely within Delaware's at-large congressional district. It overlaps with the 9th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 27th districts of the Delaware House of Representatives.
Recent election results Delaware Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms. Under normal circumstances, the 12th district holds elections in presidential years, except immediately after redistricting, when all seats are up for election regardless of usual cycle.
