The 2022 Hawaii gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Hawaii. Incumbent Democratic Governor David Ige is term-limited and therefore ineligible to run for a third term. Incumbent Lt. Governor Josh Green is the Democratic nominee, who is facing former Lt. Governor Duke Aiona, the Republican nominee. This marks the third time Aiona has been the Republican gubernatorial nominee, since his previous unsuccessful runs in 2010 and 2014.
