The 1962 Hawaii gubernatorial election was Hawaii's second gubernatorial election. The election was held on November 6, 1962, and resulted in a victory for the Democratic candidate, former Territorial Delegate John A. Burns over Republican William F. Quinn, the incumbent Governor of Hawaii. The election was a rematch between the candidates of the previous election, with the outcome reversed. Burns received more votes than Quinn in every county in the state.[1]
This election was the first of ten consecutive Democratic gubernatorial victories in Hawaii, a streak not broken until the election of Republican Linda Lingle in 2002. This is the only time that an incumbent governor of Hawaii lost reelection.
