2026 Ohio gubernatorial election

The 2026 Ohio gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the next governor of Ohio. Incumbent Republican Governor Mike DeWine is term-limited and ineligible to seek a third consecutive term. The winner of the election will be inaugurated on January 11, 2027. Democrats have not won a gubernatorial election in Ohio since Ted Strickland was elected governor in 2006, and have not won a statewide race since Sherrod Brown was re-elected senator in 2018.
