2026 United States gubernatorial elections GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

    United States gubernatorial elections are scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026, in 36 states and three territories. The previous gubernatorial elections for this group of states took place in 2022, except in New Hampshire and Vermont, where governors serve two-year terms and elected their governors in 2024. Fifteen of the thirty-six states with elections in this cycle have officially term-limited incumbents, while two of the three United States territories with elections this cycle have officially term-limited incumbents.
    There are two Republican governors up for reelection in states Kamala Harris won in 2024 (Vermont at D+32 and New Hampshire at D+2.8), and there are five states with Democratic governors that were won by Donald Trump (Wisconsin at R+0.9, Michigan at R+1.4, Pennsylvania at R+1.7, Arizona at R+5.5, and Kansas at R+16).


    Predictions


    Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent was running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party had in winning that seat. Most election predictors used:

    "tossup" or "battleground": no advantage
    "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
    "lean": slight advantage
    "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
    "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory
