Flag of the governor

The governor of North Dakota is the head of government of the U.S. state of North Dakota.

There have been 32 governors since North Dakota became a state, serving 33 distinct terms, with William Langer having been elected to multiple terms. The current officeholder is Republican Doug Burgum.

Governors

For governors before statehood, see List of governors of Dakota Territory.

Dakota Territory was organized on March 2, 1861; on November 2, 1889, it was split into the states of North Dakota and South Dakota.

The Constitution of North Dakota originally provided for the election of a governor and lieutenant governor every two years, which was changed to four years in 1964. A limit of two terms was added in 2023. The governor and lieutenant governor are elected together on a ticket, and should the office of governor become vacant, the lieutenant governor becomes governor. The term of office begins on the December 15 following the election.

Notes

  1. Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  2. Sources disagree on when Shortridge took office; Sobel says January 2, the State Historical Society says January 3, one contemporary news source says Shortridge qualified on January 3, and Shortridge delivered his inaugural address (dated January 3) to the legislature on January 4.
  3. Represented the Democratic-Independent Party
  4. Allin lost the Republican nomination to Frank A. Briggs.
  5. Sources disagree on when Briggs took office; Sobel says January 8, the State Historical Society says January 6, and a contemporary news source says he was sworn in on January 7, which notes that inaugural proceedings were delayed by the death of Briggs' daughter.
  6. Fancher was nominated by the Republican Party, but withdrew from the election due to health concerns.
  7. ^ Frazier was recalled and Nestos elected to replace him in a special election.
  8. Nestos lost the Republican nomination to Arthur G. Sorlie.
  9. Sources disagree on when Langer took office; the State Historical Society says December 31, 1932, but contemporary news indicates it was on January 4, 1933, the matter being complicated because Langer was ill and unable to attend..
  10. ^ Langer was removed from office following his conviction of felony conspiracy to defraud the federal government; he was later cleared. He was convicted on June 17 and Lieutenant Governor Ole H. Olson immediately moved to take over, receiving the oath of office. The Supreme Court ruled Langer was ineligible on July 17, and Olson formally took office on July 19.
  11. The Supreme Court ruled that Moodie did not meet residency requirements to run for governor, and so removed him.
  12. Sinner took the oath of office on December 31, so that he would become governor at midnight on January 1; Olson claimed that his term did not end until January 5, and refused to leave office. The Supreme Court ruled on January 4 that Skinner was governor, and had been since January 1.
  13. Hoeven resigned to take an elected seat in the United States Senate.
  14. Burgum's second term began December 15, 2020, and will expire on December 15, 2024.
