2026 Florida gubernatorial election ← 2022 November 3, 2026 2030 →
The2026 Florida gubernatorial election will take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the nextgovernor of Florida , alongside other state and local elections. IncumbentRepublican GovernorRon DeSantis is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third consecutive term.
A heavily populatedSouth Atlantic state with a large and increasingly conservativeLatino American population and the northern parts lying in theBible Belt , Florida is considered to be a moderately to stronglyred state , having not elected a Democratic governor since 1994 nor a Democrat for president since2012 and having moved significantly rightward in the last decade. In2022 , incumbent GovernorRon DeSantis was re-elected by a 19.4% margin, a considerable improvement from his 0.4-point victory four years earlier in thegubernatorial election during the2018 blue wave . This was followed two years later by RepublicanDonald Trump winning his adoptive home state by a 13% margin as he won a second non-consecutive presidential term, improving his 3.4% margin of victory in2020 and seemingly diminishing Florida's longtimeswing-state status .[citation needed ] Republicans also control all statewide offices, a large majority of the state's U.S. House delegation, both U.S. Senate seats, and supermajorities in both houses of theFlorida Legislature .
Eligibility and requirements [ edit ] Article IV, Section 5(b) of theFlorida Constitution states that, for a person to serve as governor, they must:[ 1]
Be at least thirty years old; Be a permanent resident of Florida for at least seven years; Not have served as governor for six years or more of the two prior terms. Publicly expressed interest [ edit ] Byron Donalds
