Notes

  1. Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  2. Sources disagree on when Shortridge took office; Sobel says January 2,[8] the State Historical Society says January 3,[10] one contemporary news source says Shortridge qualified on January 3,[11] and Shortridge delivered his inaugural address (dated January 3) to the legislature on January 4.[12]
  3. Represented the Democratic-Independent Party
  4. Sources disagree on when Briggs took office; Sobel says January 8,[17] the State Historical Society says January 6,[19] and a contemporary news source says he was sworn in on January 7,[20] which notes that inaugural proceedings were delayed by the death of Briggs' daughter.
  5. Fancher was nominated by the Republican Party, but withdrew from the election due to health concerns.[27]
  6. 6.0 6.1 Frazier was recalled and Nestos elected to replace him in a special election.
  7. Shafer instead ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate.[52]
  8. Sources disagree on when Langer took office; the State Historical Society says December 31, 1932,[57] but contemporary news indicates it was on January 4, 1933, the matter being complicated because Langer was ill and unable to attend..[58]
  9. 9.0 9.1 Langer was removed from office following his conviction of felony conspiracy to defraud the federal government; he was later cleared.[55] He was convicted on June 17 and Lieutenant Governor Ole H. Olson immediately moved to take over, receiving the oath of office.[59] The Supreme Court ruled Langer was ineligible on July 17, and Olson formally took office on July 19.[60]
  10. The Supreme Court ruled that Moodie did not meet residency requirements to run for governor, and so removed him.[63]
  11. Langer instead ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate.[55]
  12. Moses was instead elected to the United States Senate.[70]
  13. Aandahl was instead elected to the United States House of Representatives.[73]
  14. Davis instead ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate.[79]
  15. Sinner took the oath of office on December 31, so that he would become governor at midnight on January 1; Olson claimed that his term did not end until January 5, and refused to leave office. The Supreme Court ruled on January 4 that Sinner was governor, and had been since January 1.[91][92]
  16. Hoeven resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.
