Governors

Dakota Territory was organized on March 2, 1861; [1] on November 2, 1889, it was split into the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. [2]

The Constitution of North Dakota originally provided for the election of a governor and lieutenant governor every two years, which was changed to four years in 1964. [3] A limit of two terms was added in 2023. [4] The governor and lieutenant governor are elected together on a ticket, [5] and should the office of governor become vacant, the lieutenant governor becomes governor. [6] The term of office begins on the December 15 following the election. [7]

  4. ↑ Sources disagree on when Briggs took office; Sobel says January 8, [24] the State Historical Society says January 6, [26] and a contemporary news source says he was sworn in on January 7, [27] which notes that inaugural proceedings were delayed by the death of Briggs' daughter.
