- South Carolina gubernatorial election, 1942
The 1942 South Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1942 during World War II to select the governor of the state of South Carolina. Olin D. Johnston won the Democratic primary and ran unopposed in the general election winning a second non-consecutive term as Governor of South Carolina.
Democratic Primary
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary for governor in the summer of 1942. The race was between former Governor Olin D. Johnston and Wyndham Meredith Manning, the third attempt for both candidates. Olin Johnston emerged victorious in a tight race and effectively became the next governor of South Carolina because there was no opposition in the general election.
General Election
The general election was held on November 3, 1942 and Olin D. Johnston was elected the next governor of South Carolina without opposition. Being a non-presidential election and few contested races, turnout was much lower than the Democratic primary election.
