how often do you vote for governor

Governor elections in the United States are held at varying frequencies by state, but the vast majority of states elect their governor every four years. Two states—New Hampshire and Vermont—use two-year terms for governors, while the remaining 48 states generally hold gubernatorial elections on a four-year cycle. Some states schedule elections to align with midterm or presidential election years, which means the specific election year can differ depending on the state. Governors may be subject to term limits in many states, which can influence how long someone can serve in office. If you’d like, I can break down the current terms and recent election cycles by state.
