Short answer: Election timing varies by state and locality. To vote for governor in a given state, you’ll need to check your specific state’s election calendar and your local county or city election office for exact dates, filing deadlines, early voting windows, and Election Day. What to check now
- Your state’s official election website or secretary of state page for gubernatorial election dates (primary and general), or the general gubernatorial election date if this is a general election year.
- Your county or city elections office for local early voting windows, polling locations, and any registration or identification requirements.
- If you’re looking at a specific state (e.g., Ohio, Virginia, California, Maryland), tell me which state, and I’ll provide the precise dates and steps for that jurisdiction.
