The governor's term begins on September 15 of the year of the election and finishes on September 14 after having passed six years.
The state of Chihuahua was created in 1824, being one of the original states of the federation, thus its history has included all the Mexican forms of government. This explains why the organizations' names and titles have varied through the years.
