Each state has its own rules. Normally (48 of 50 states), the governor serves for four years, but in New Hampshire and Vermont, it is only 2 years.
For example, California elects governors every four years; they are elected the same year as the Presidential elections. But many states elect governors in the years when there is no Presidential election.
There used to be more states with two-year terms but they have gradually changed to 4 years.
