2024 Pennsylvania Attorney General election
The 2024 Pennsylvania Attorney General election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the
attorney general of the
U.S. state of
Pennsylvania .
Attorney General
Josh Shapiro , who was re-elected
in 2020 , would have been ineligible to seek a third term in 2024 due to term limits. He instead ran successfully for
governor of Pennsylvania in
2022 .
[1]
[2]
In accordance with Article IV, Section 8, of the
Pennsylvania Constitution , upon taking office as governor, Shapiro was permitted to nominate his successor as attorney general, who will serve the remaining two years of the term after being confirmed by the
Pennsylvania Senate .
[3]
[4]
[5] By tradition, an appointed attorney general agrees not to run for the post in the next election.
[6] In the interim between Shapiro's resignation to become governor and the appointee's installation, first deputy attorney general
Michelle Henry , a
Democrat , served as acting attorney general.
