2024 New Hampshire gubernatorial election
The 2024 New Hampshire gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Governor of New Hampshire, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections. Incumbent Republican governor Chris Sununu is eligible to run for re-election to a fifth term, but has not yet announced whether or not he will do so.
