The 2019 United States elections will be held (for the most part) on Tuesday, November 5. The off-year election includes gubernatorial and state legislative elections in a few states; as well as numerous citizen initiatives, mayoral races, and a variety of other local offices on the ballot. Special elections to the United States Congress may take place if vacancies arise.
State elections
The 2019 state elections will impact the redistricting that will follow the 2020 United States Census, as many states task governors and state legislators with drawing new boundaries for state legislative and Congressional districts.
Gubernatorial
Three states will hold gubernatorial elections in 2019:
- Louisiana: One-term Democrat John Bel Edwards is running for re-election. [1]
- Mississippi: Two-term Republican Phil Bryant is term-limited in 2019 and therefore ineligible to seek re-election. Potential Republican candidates include Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves; potential Democratic candidates include Attorney General Jim Hood[2]
- Kentucky: One-term Republican Matt Bevin is eliglble for re-election. He has not indicated whether he would run for a second-term.
Legislative
Legislative elections will be held for both houses of the Louisiana Legislature, the Mississippi Legislature, the Virginia General Assembly, the New Jersey General Assembly and various legislative offices in Kentucky.
