Voters would decide whether to limit governor and lieutenant governor elections

If voters approve the amendment, a person could not be elected governor more than twice or lieutenant governor more than twice. The limit applies separately to each office. The limits would apply only if voters adopt the constitutional amendment. Elections before the 2026 general election would not count toward either limit; the ballot question describes the limits as beginning with candidates elected in 2026.

The proposed amendment would go to voters for a yes-or-no decision at the 2026 general election.
