State of Hawaii

[edit]

Hawaii was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, consisting of Hawaii Territory minusPalmyra Atoll. Since then, there have been nine governors.

The governor is elected to a four-year term commencing on the first Monday in the December following the election. Thelieutenant governor is elected for the same term and, since 1964, on the sameticket as the governor.[1][50] The1978 constitutional convention established aterm limit of two consecutive terms for both offices.[1] If the office of governor is vacant, the lieutenant governor becomes governor; if the governor is out of the state or unable to fulfill duties, the lieutenant governor acts as governor during such absence or disability.[51]
