The 2022 United States state auditor elections were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the state auditor of twenty-three U.S. states. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018, except in Vermont, whose auditor serves two-year terms and was elected in 2020.
These elections took place concurrently with various other federal, state, and local elections. They were one of only two slates of statewide elections in 2022 in which the Republicans made net gains, the other being the treasurer elections.
Going into these elections, this class of state auditors was made up of thirteen Democrats and ten Republicans. Democrats were defending two states won by Donald Trump in 2020 (Iowa and Missouri), while Republicans did not hold any states won by Joe Biden.
