The United States gubernatorial elections of 2018 will be held on November 6, 2018, in 36 states. 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, and Oregon will have a special election in 2016 due to the resignation of John Kitzhaber.
The first presidential primary election was held in 1901 in Florida, and by 1916, presidential primary laws had been passed in 26 states. More than 40 of the 50 states hold primary elections by 2005. The presidential candidates are officially and formally nominated by national party conventions. A couple of months before the national conventions meet, almost all U.S. states hold primary elections to select the party candidates.
