You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''governor of North Dakota''' is the [[head of government]] of [[North Dakota]] and serves as the [[commander-in-chief]] of the state's [[North Dakota National Guard|military forces]].

The [[Constitution of North Dakota]] specifies that "the executive power is vested in the governor" in Section 1.  Section 7 indicates that "the governor is the chief executive of the state. The governor shall have the responsibility to see that the state's business is well administered and that its laws are faithfully executed."<ref>http://www.legis.nd.gov/constit/a05.pdf ((Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022))</ref>

==Eligibility==
According to Article 5 of the constitution, to be eligible to hold an elective office as governor, a person must be a qualified elector in North Dakota, must be at least thirty years of age on the day of the election, and must have been a resident of the state for the five years preceding election to
office.

==Dates of party conventions and gubernatorial nominations==
The dates that political parties meet to nominate official candidates for state offices varies by party.

==Dates of general elections==
The dates of the general election for the office of governor are set by the North Dakota legislative assembly. Traditionally, the general election date coincides with the U.S. presidential election which is the first Tuesday of November in even years, every four years (except when the first Tuesday falls on November 1; in that case, the general election is held on November 8).

The next gubernatorial election in North Dakota is slated for November 5, 2024.

==Current governor==
The current governor of North Dakota is [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Doug Burgum]]. He became governor on December 15, 2016.

==Governor and lieutenant governor elected together==
According to the state constitution, the governor and the lieutenant governor must be elected on a joint ballot, or single ticket.<ref>http://www.legis.nd.gov/constit/a05.pdf ((Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022))</ref> In North Dakota, each candidate for governor appears printed on the ballot with the candidate for lieutenant governor of the same political party.

A single vote is cast for both offices; no other option is available to the voter. Therefore, a voter may not choose a single candidate for governor from one political party and a single candidate for lieutenant governor from a competing party.

==Additional gubernatorial rights, responsibilities and positions==
In addition to his role leading the executive branch offices, the governor has the right to sign or veto laws and to call the [[North Dakota Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]] into emergency session.

The governor is also, by statute, chairman of the [[North Dakota Industrial Commission]].

==Length and dates of term==
A governor is elected by statewide popular vote to a 4-year term.

North Dakota law specifies that a regular term of an elected governor shall commence on December 15 following the November election in an even year, for a term of precisely four years, ending on December 15 four years after the inauguration of that person.

==Date of inauguration, exceptions and inaugural celebrations==
The standard date of inauguration to the office of Governor of North Dakota is December 15 following the even-year general election.

Thus, the next scheduled inauguration of the governor will be held on December 15, 2024, for the successful candidate chosen at the November 2024 general election.

Other dates for the regularly scheduled inaugurations were mandated at various times, primarily dates in late December following the general election and several in January of the year following the general election.

There have been cases where the governor of North Dakota was inaugurated on other dates, due to the vacancy of the office of governor.  These have included the resignation of the governor, the death in office of a governor, and in one instance, the judicial removal because of a felony conviction of a governor ([[William Langer]]; his conviction was later overturned and he was elected to another term).

Inaugural balls and related celebrations have been most often been celebrated on the dates of gubernatorial inaugurations.

Although the current governor, Doug Burgum, was first inaugurated on December 15, 2016, the formal inaugural celebration was held in January 2017. The decision to conduct the celebration at a later date was made to avoid interference with the busy holiday schedules of many celebrants in December.<ref>http://legacy.wday.com/event/article/id/72633/ ((Bare URL inline|date=March 2022))</ref>

==Gubernatorial term limits==
In November 2022, voters approved an amendment to the North Dakota Constitution that established a lifetime limit of two four-year terms for the office of governor. The amendment only applies to individuals elected after the approval of the amendment.<ref>((Cite web |last=MacPHERSON |first=JAMES (AP) |title=North Dakota voters OK term limits for governor, legislators |url=https://www.stltoday.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/north-dakota-voters-ok-term-limits-for-governor-legislators/article_fc775b59-4c32-5054-aa6c-933faeb8c075.html |access-date=2022-11-10 |website=STLtoday.com |language=en))</ref> 

Previously, there was no limit to the number of terms a governor may serve, if elected.

The longest-serving North Dakota governor was [[William L. Guy]] (1961-1973), who served four terms, two being for a two-year term and two being for a four-year term, for a total of 12 years in office. [[John Hoeven]] holds the record as the second longest-serving North Dakota governor (2000-2010).

==Non-sequential terms==
It is possible for a governor to serve non-sequential terms. [[William Langer]] is the only one who has done so.

==Official residence==
The official residence of the governor is the [[North Dakota Governor's Residence]] in [[Bismarck, North Dakota|Bismarck]].
