Incumbent[ah]
Democratic 2024 Hunt, RachelRachel Hunt
  1. The office of lieutenant governor was created in 1868.[1]
  2. Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  3. Sources disagree on when Caswell took office; the 1913 state manual says December 19,[3] the 1981 state manual says December 21,[4] while a biography from 1905 says it was December 24.[5]
  4. 4.00 4.01 4.02 4.03 4.04 4.05 4.06 4.07 4.08 4.09 4.10 4.11 Under the 1776 constitution, governors were ineligible to hold the office more than three years in six successive years.[6]
  5. Burke was captured by Loyalists led by David Fanning on September 13, 1781, and escaped on January 16, 1782;[9] during this time, Speaker of the Senate Alexander Martin acted as governor.[10]
  6. Johnston resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.[17]
  7. Spaight is labeled a Federalist by Kallenbach,[19] and a Democratic-Republican by Glashan.[7]
  8. Ashe is labeled an Anti-Federalist by Kallenbach,[19] and a Democratic-Republican by Dubin[24] and Glashan.[7]
  9. Some sources say Davie resigned on September 10, 1799, to be a peace envoy to France;[27][25] however, the state manual does not mention a resignation,[18] and other sources say that, while he left the state, he arranged to formally remain governor.[28]
  10. Kallenbach labels Williams a Democratic-Republican,[19] but Glashan[7] and Tufts[39] label him a Federalist.
  11. Smith was nominated and received votes in the first round of balloting, but he had not authorized this and was not interested, so his name was withdrawn.[47]
  12. Glashan[7] and Kallenbach[19] label Burton a Democratic-Republican, but Sobel labels him a Federalist.[62]
  13. Iredell was instead elected to the United States Senate on December 1; while Sobel says he resigned to take his new office,[65] contemporary sources mention no such resignation.
  14. Sobel says Owen had been nominated and withdrew,[68] but contemporary sources say only that he requested not to be nominated.[71]
  15. Glashan[7] and Kallenbach[19] label Owen a Democratic-Republican, while Sobel says he was a "National Republican with Federalist sympathies."[68]
  16. Stokes was appointed to be a commissioner to treat with Indians, and sent a farewell message to the general assembly on November 19.[75] Some sources, both modern and older, interpret this as him resigning;[72][76] however, the 1927 manual says he left office normally on December 6,[18] and contemporary news does not use any term of resignation.
  17. Glashan[7] and Kallenbach[19] label Stokes a Democratic-Republican, while Dubin labels him a Democrat.[24]
