Gubernatorial elections

Gubernatorial elections are the processes by which voters elect the governor of a U.S. state. Governors are the heads of state governments, responsible for implementing laws, overseeing state agencies, and managing budgets. These elections typically occur every four years, although some states may have different schedules. Candidates usually come from major political parties, and the election involves primary contests to select party nominees, followed by a general election where the final candidates compete. Voter turnout and public issues, such as education and healthcare, play significant roles in these elections.
