Glenn Youngkin, the 74th and current governor of Virginia

The governor of Virginia is the state's head of government and commander-in-chief of the state's official national guard. The first Constitution of 1776 created the office of governor, to be elected annually by the Virginia State Legislature. The governor could serve up to three years at a time, and once out of office, could not serve again for four years.<ref name="1776 Const">1776 Const.</ref> The 1830 constitution changed the thrice-renewable one-year term length to a non-renewable three-year term, and set the start date at the first day in January following an election.<ref>1830 Const. Art IV section 1.</ref> This constitution also prevented governors from succeeding themselves, a prohibition that exists to the present day.<ref>VA Const. Art V sec 1</ref> The 1851 Constitution increased terms to four years<ref>1851 Const. art V section 1.</ref> and made the office elected by the people, rather than the legislature.<ref>1851 Const. Art V section 2.</ref> The commencement of the Governor's term was moved to the first day in February by the 1902 Constitution,<ref>1902 Const. Art V section 69.</ref> and then to the Saturday after the second Wednesday in January by the 1971 and current Constitution.<ref>VA Const. art V section 1.</ref>

If the office of governor is vacant due to death, impeachment and disqualification, or resignation, the lieutenant governor of Virginia becomes governor.<ref>VA Const. Art V section 16.</ref> The office of lieutenant governor was created in 1851.<ref>1851 Const. art V section 8.</ref> Prior to that a Council of State existed; it chose from among its members a president who would be "lieutenant-governor" and would act as governor when there was a vacancy in that office.<ref name="1776 Const" /><ref>1830 Const. art IV section 5.</ref> The governor and the lieutenant governor are elected at the same time but not on the same ticket. Officially, there have been 74 governors of Virginia; the acting governors are not counted.

Governors

Virginia was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and was admitted as a state on June 25, 1788.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Before it declared its independence, Virginia was a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain. It seceded from the Union on April 17, 1861,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and was admitted to the Confederate States of America on May 7, 1861.<ref>An Act to admit the Commonwealth of Virginia as a member of the Confederate States of America Template:Webarchive, accessed July 8, 2015</ref> Following the end of the American Civil War, Virginia during Reconstruction constituted the First Military District, which exerted some control over governor appointments and elections. Virginia was readmitted to the Union on January 26, 1870.<ref>Template:Usstat</ref>

The federal government recognized the Restored Government of Virginia, based in Wheeling, as the legitimate government in Virginia on June 25, 1861. It elected its own slate of governors, and after West Virginia was split from Virginia on June 20, 1863, the restored government relocated to Alexandria.
