2022 US Gubernatorial Elections (King's World)

United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 8, 2022, in 36 states and three territories. In addition, special elections may take place (depending on state law) if other gubernatorial seats are vacated.
As most governors serve four-year terms, the last regular gubernatorial elections for all but two of the seats took place in 2018. The governors of New Hampshire and Vermont, each of whom serves two-year terms, are up for election in 2020. The 2022 gubernatorial elections will take place concurrently with several other federal, state, and local elections.
