1822 United States House of Representatives election in Delaware
Delaware was reduced once more from two back to one seat after the Fourth Census, which number has remained constant to the present day. At the time of the 1822 election, the second seat in Delaware's at-large district was vacant, so there was only one incumbent going into the election.
