Elections took place on September 13 in Maine. In Massachusetts, the governor was elected to a two-year term for the first time, instead of a one-year term. Every governorship mirrored the presidential results in their state. This is the most recent year in which all gubernatorial elections were won by the same party that won the state in the year's presidential election.
