California gubernatorial election

The California gubernatorial election determines who will be the state’s governor, the chief executive responsible for overseeing state government and implementing laws. Candidates campaign on policies like economy, education, and climate. Voters select their preferred candidate through a statewide election held every four years. If no candidate wins a majority in the primary, a runoff between the top two candidates may be held. The governor’s term lasts four years, with the possibility of re-election. The election reflects voter priorities and influences California’s policy direction across issues affecting residents and businesses.
