If you founded a U.S. state, how should the lieutenant governor be elected?

The following map shows the common methods used by the U.S. states:



Α: Same ticket
B: Same ticket in the general election, separate election in the primaries
C: Separate election
D: Elected by the state senate
E/F: Jurisdiction does not have a lieutenant governor

Some states don't have the office of a lieutenant governor, thus other office holders occupy that post in case of death, removal or resignation:

E: In Arizona, Oregon and Wyoming (and Puerto Rico) it's the secretary of state.
F: In Maine and New Hampshire it's the Senate president.


Illinois is same ticket in general, separate in primary, I think Michigan elects theirs in a convention instead of a primary

No, it's not. It was up until after the 2010 elections when Scott Lee Cohen was elected as the Democratic running mate, but then had to drop out after it was revealed he was convicted of domestic abuse. The state switched the process for the 2014 elections (Paul Vallas was selected by Quinn as his running mate)

Sorry, i didnt realize they changed it.
