School Boards

School board elections are normally held in May. To vote in school board elections a person must be a citizen and a resident in the school district holding the election and be at least 18 years of age. Advance registration is not necessary.  Contact your local school board for more information. 

A listing of Sussex County public schools with links to the district websites can be found here.  

Milford and Woodbridge School Districts cross county boundaries.  Milford School Board Elections and Referenda are both handled by Department of Elections - Kent County Office. Woodbridge School Board Elections and Referenda are both handled by Department of Elections - Sussex County Office.  

Per Delaware Code (Title 14, Section 1075 [b]), when there is only one candidate for the election for a school board seat, the Department declares the candidate elected and does not hold an election for the seat.
