when is governor election

Direct answer: The timing of gubernatorial elections depends on the state. In most U.S. states, governors are elected every four years, often in years that coincide with midterm elections (e.g., 2022, 2026) or, in a few cases, in presidential election years. Primary dates and the exact November election date vary by state. If you specify a particular state, I can provide the precise next governor election date, including primary dates and any note on term limits or eligibility. If you’re asking about a specific state, please name it and I’ll give a concise date and any relevant context (term limits, incumbent status, primary schedule).
