January 27, 2020: Voters in 11 states will go to the polls and elect a Governor this year.
In seven of those states, the current Governor is running for re-election (Indiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Washington, and West Virginia).
In two states—Delaware and Vermont—the incumbent remains undecided.
One state—Montana—has term limits in place that prevent the Governor from seeking another term.
Finally, in Utah, the Governor is not term-limited but has decided against seeking re-election.
