==General information==
{{unreferenced section|date=March 2019}}
Originally the term for [[governor of New York]] was three years long and began on July 1,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-21 |title=List of Governors of New York: Find out what they do |url=https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/list-of-governors-of-new-york-find-out-what-they-do-1669018076-1 |access-date=2023-01-15 |website=Jagranjosh.com}}</ref> the election being held in the last week of April or May 1. In 1817, following the resignation of [[Daniel D. Tompkins]] after serving only eight months of his term, there was a new election, since the [[Constitution of New York#Constitution of New York, 1777|1777 Constitution]] did not give the [[Lieutenant Governor of New York|lieutenant governor]] the right to succeed to the governor's office, and [[DeWitt Clinton]] was elected for a whole three-year-term. The [[New York State Constitutional Convention]] of 1821 reduced the term to two years – beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 – and moved the election to the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Due to this measure, DeWitt Clinton's own second term was cut short by half a year. Beginning with the [[1876 New York state election|election in 1876]], the term was increased to three years again, beginning with the [[1894 New York state election|election in 1894]] reduced to two years, and since the [[1938 New York state election|election in 1938]] has its present duration of four years.

Although the candidates for lieutenant governor have always run on tickets with the governor's candidates, until the [[1950 New York state election|election of 1950]] they were elected on separate ballots, so on several occasions ([[1826 New York gubernatorial election|1826]], [[1846 New York state election|1846]], [[1850 New York state election|1850]], [[1906 New York state election|1906]], and [[1924 New York state election|1924]]) the governor and his lieutenant were elected of opposing tickets.

In only 15 of the total 91 elections has the incumbent lost re-election.

The elected candidates are shown in bold face in the tables below.

Note: Governor Tompkins was elected US Vice President in November 1816, and he resigned in February 1817. Article XVII of the [[Constitution of New York, 1777|New York State Constitution of 1777]] said that "...as often as the seat of government shall become vacant, a wise and descreet freeholder of this State shall be, by ballot, elected governor,... which elections shall be always held at the times and places of choosing representatives in assembly..." This meant that, whenever a vacancy occurred, the Lt. Gov. did not succeed to the governor's office but administrated the state only until the end of the yearly term of the [[New York State Assembly]] on June 30, the successor being elected in April.

Note: John Jay received more votes than George Clinton, but on technicalities the votes of Otsego, Tioga and Clinton counties were disqualified and not counted, giving Clinton a slight majority. Under the [[New York Constitution|Constitution of 1777]], the votes were canvassed by a joint committee of the state legislature, six members each from the [[New York State Assembly|assembly]] and the [[New York State Senate|senate]]. The members were [[David Gelston]], [[Thomas Tillotson]], [[Melancton Smith]], David Graham, [[Pierre Van Cortlandt Jr.]], David McCarty, [[Jonathan N. Havens]], [[Samuel Jones (NY comptroller)|Samuel Jones]], [[Isaac Roosevelt (politician)|Isaac Roosevelt]], [[Leonard Gansevoort]], and [[Joshua Sands (politician)|Joshua Sands]]. The state constitution said that the cast votes shall be delivered to the secretary of state "by the sheriff or his deputy". The ballots from [[Otsego County, New York|Otsego County]] were forwarded to the secretary of state by Sheriff Smith who was holding over in office until the appointment of a successor after his term had expired. The ballot box from [[Clinton County, New York|Clinton County]] was delivered to the secretary of state's office by a person without deputation who had received the box from the sheriff. The ballot box from [[Tioga County, New York|Tioga County]] was delivered to the secretary of state by the clerk of the special deputy appointed by the sheriff. The canvass committee disagreed on whether to allow these ballots to be counted. The question was referred to the [[U.S. Senator]]s from New York, Federalist [[Rufus King]] and Dem.-Rep. [[Aaron Burr]], for arbitration. King said all votes ought to be canvassed. Burr said that the ballots from Clinton County ought to be allowed, and the ones from Otsego and Tioga Counties should be rejected. Thereupon, a majority of the canvass committee (Gelston, Tillotson, Smith, Graham, Van Cortlandt, McCarty, and Havens) rejected the ballots from all three counties and declared George Clinton duly elected governor by a majority of 108 votes. The minority (Jones, Roosevelt, Gansevoort, and Sands) protested in writing. In Otsego County, John Jay had a majority of about 400, and discounting the small majorities for Clinton in Tioga and Clinton Counties, would have won the election. Clinton was accused by the Federalists of [[usurpation]] and the canvass committee of having made a partisan decision against the wishes of the electorate.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Gm04AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA42 ''History of Political Parties in the State of New-York'' by John S.

Notes:
*The election began on June 1, but due to the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] it took some time to collect and count the votes, and the official result was announced on July 9. George Clinton accepted the office of Governor on July 11 and assumed its duties immediately, pending taking the oath as soon as he could safely leave his military command.
*There were no parties yet; the Democratic-Republican and Federalist Parties appeared only in 1789, and until then the candidacies were personal. Besides, the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor were not "running mates"; all candidates were voted for independently.
*The Committee of Safety (the governing body of the State of New York after the Constitutional Convention adjourned) endorsed Philip Schuyler for Governor and George Clinton for Lieutenant Governor, which led to Clinton's receiving votes for both offices and actually winning both. Clinton formally resigned the lieutenant governorship and Pierre Van Cortlandt was elected lieutenant governor in a special election in 1778.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=IhGflokDzmAC&pg=PA24 ''George Clinton: Yeoman Politician of the New Republic''] by John P.
