How Many Terms Can The Governor Of Georgia Serve?

The term length for both the governor and lieutenant governor of Georgia is four years, with both officials elected by popular vote. Notably, unlike certain other U.S. states, the lieutenant governor in Georgia is elected independently of the governor, meaning they are chosen separately by the electorate.

Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, assumed office through a public inauguration held in Atlanta on January 14, 2019. After completing his first term, he was re-inaugurated for a second term on January 9, 2023. As of the current date, October 5, 2023, Governor Kemp has been in office for approximately 4 years and 8 months, since his initial inauguration in 2019.
