In Florida, the gubernatorial election was held on the same day as federal elections, having been held in October since 1892.http://fall.fsulawrc.com/crc/conhist/1896amen.html Amendments, Election of 10-6-1896 Florida Constitution Revision Commission 27 November 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20181122101614/http://fall.fsulawrc.com/crc/conhist/1896amen.html 22 November 2018 In North Carolina gubernatorial elections had been held on the same day as federal elections since 1876, but in 1900 the election was moved to August.
