The 2022 Northern Mariana Islands general election was held on Tuesday, 8 November 2022,[1][2] corresponding with the elections of other federal and state offices, including the nationwide 2022 United States House of Representatives elections and the 2022 United States general elections. A runoff for the gubernatorial race were held on Friday, 25 November 2022.[1][2][3] Total registered voters was 19,275.[4][5] The general election saw turnout of 14,750 voters, or 76.52%,[4] while the runoff saw a turnout of 13,094 voters, around 67.93%.[5] This election saw the election of the CNMI's first independent governor and lieutenant governor.[2][6] Both the CNMI Democratic Party and the CNMI Republican Party displayed lackluster results when compared to the independents in the Northern Mariana Islands House of Representatives. This election also saw the first time the Democratic Party contested the governorship since the 2014 Northern Mariana Islands general election[a] and the first time said party received more than 10% of the popular vote since the 2005 Northern Mariana Islands general election.[b]
