United States gubernatorial elections, 2018
United States gubernatorial elections will be held on November 6, 2018 in 36 states and three territories. In addition, special elections may take place if other gubernatorial seats are vacated. These elections form part of the 2018 United States elections. The last regular gubernatorial elections for all but three of the states took place in 2014. Governors in New Hampshire and Vermont serve two year terms, meaning that their most recent gubernatorial elections took place in 2016; Republicans Phil Scott and Chris Sununu were elected to those seats and will be sworn in January 2017. Oregon, meanwhile, was forced to have a special election in 2016 to fill the unexpired term of John Kitzhaber following his resignation; that election was won by Democrat Kate Brown, the incumbent who'll be sworn in January 2017, to serve the final 2 years of the term.
Many of the states holding gubernatorial elections have term limits which make some multi-term governors ineligible for re-election. Three Democratic governors are term-limited, while five incumbent Democratic governors are eligible for re-election. Among Republican governors, 14 are term-limited, while ten can seek re-election. One independent governor, Bill Walker of Alaska, is eligible for re-election. Neither New Hampshire nor Vermont have term limits, meaning that Scott and Sununu may run for re-election. Brown may also seek a full term in Oregon.
