Civil War Governors
I wonder if some mention should be made of the dual governments during the Civil War. Norman D. Brown's Edward Stanly: Whiggery's Tarheel 'Conqueror' (University of Alabama Press, 1974) details some of this information.
CSA Government:
John W. Ellis (Confederate Party) 1861
Henry T. Clark (Confederate Party) 1861-1862 --> Clark is identified as being with the Confederate Party on page 225.
Zebulon B. Vance (Conservative Party) 1862-1865
USA Government:
Marble N. Taylor (Union Party) 1861-1862
Edward Stanly (Union Party) 1862-1863
Vacant 1863-1865 until Holden was appointed

Two possible corrections
I have two things I want to post here so that others may comment on them before changing the article.
1. It is my understanding that the NC Constitution of 1971 did not grant the governor and lieutenant governor the ability to run for re-election. The book North Carolina Government (Raleigh: Office of the Secretary of State, 1979) states on page 1024 that the third amendment to the 1971 constitution granted that ability. It was approved by the voters in 1977 by a margin of 307,754 to 278,013.
2. It is my recollection that the NC governor's veto power was approved by the legislature in its 1995 session.
Ironically, both of these items were passed while Jim Hunt was governor. Chronicler3 11:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Religious Restriction
Should the fact that a person who does not believe in a supreme being can not run for this office be included in this article?
gubernatorial election
Just in case whatever editors keep inserting the governor-elect into the table of governors doesn't realize it, the governor elect is not the governor and will not be until inauguration day (the day of which would be some valuable information to include in the article). If the current governor were to die prior to that, the Lt. Governor would be governor for the remainder of her term. If the governor-elect would happen to die prior to inauguration day, he would never be governor. Therefore, putting the governor-elect into the table of governors is just incorrect information at this time. Gtwfan52 (talk) 22:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- I would agree with that. There's no rush for this. No need to update it before the event has actually happened. We already have that he won the election and this is updated on McCrory's page also.

Issues with terms of office
I was reading up on the North Carolina Constitution recently. Article III, Section 2, Subsection 1, states; “Their term of office shall be four years and shall commence on the first day of January next after their election and continue until their successors are elected and qualified” which refers to the terms of both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. This has been in the NC Constitution since 1971 so all governors and lt. governors after 1971 have started their terms on January 1st, therefore we have been using the governors public inauguration dates as their term starts which are incorrect, furthermore stands with the council of state.

Election Information Unclear
Similar to the NC House and Senate pages, I would suggest that the dates of the last election and next election be added in the Quick Facts section of this page. 23.119.209.47 (talk) 13:12, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
