The 2014 United States Virgin Islands gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of the United States Virgin Islands. Incumbent Democratic Governor John de Jongh is term-limited and cannot run for re-election to a third term in office. Since no candidate received the required 50%+1 as required by the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands in the General Election, a run off was held between Donna Christian-Christensen and Kenneth Mapp, the two top vote receivers.
[1] Mapp went on to win the run off in a landslide victory, with almost 64% of the vote. [2]
