The 2026 Rhode Island gubernatorial election will be held on November 3, 2026. It will elect the governor of Rhode Island for a four-year term. Incumbent Democratic Governor Dan McKee, who became governor in 2021 upon the resignation of Gina Raimondo and was then elected to a full term in 2022, is eligible to run for re-election to a second full term in office. McKee has said that he expects to make a decision by "the end of March" as to whether or not he will do so.[1]
