![]() | On 31 March 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Comparison of U.S. state governments to Comparison of U.S. state and territory governments. The result of the discussion was moved. |
The article is mostly complete except for a few final entries on the state legislature section. There are also some sections that have question marks, or for which I couldn't quickly find the information. Those should be completed as possible too. It would be difficult to provide cites for each fact (and messy), so it may be better to provide general references at the bottom and have notes only for where there are anomalies.
Here is a quick todo list for new addition ideas:

In Oregon, if a casual vacancy for Governor arises, a special election is held, as happened in 2016, 1956 and 1948. This happened in Wyoming in the past, but I am not sure if a special election would still be held if a Wyoming Governor resigns — for instance due to poor health.
Nonetheless, if a special election is held for a new Governor, as in Oregon, this needs to be noted. Luokehao, 21 October 2019, 05:21 (UTC)
@ Drdpw: I was just wondering why DC and the territories should not be on this list. Several places throughout Wikipedia use include these with states, just with a note. An example can be found here. This page also includes DC even though the title does not say that. If they are not appropriate for this page, then we should create a new page, something along the lines of "Comparison of US State, Federal District, and Territory Governments".

Since this discussion is fragmented I'm leaving two comments. I think there is no good reason not to include the territories in this article. we include them in articles like List of states and territories of the United States by population and List of female governors in the United States. I don't think those articles suffer from the inclusion. A dedicated "Comparison of United States territory governments" article would be infrequently visited and too niche. This article is the place for that data. I understand the idea that comparing states to territories is apples-to-oranges, but I disagree with that assumption. Yes the governor table will have to be reworded to something along the lines of "chief executive", but I don't think that's such a wild difference to warrant a different article.
