Elections were held on Tuesday, November 2, 1999 in which no members of the Congress were standing for election. However, there were three gubernatorial races, state legislative elections in four states, numerous citizen initiatives, mayoral races in several major cities, and a variety of local offices on the ballot.

President Bill Clinton's Democrats won two out of three governorships that were contested: Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi; all states in the south, Democrats won the Kentucky governorship and the Mississippi governorship, the latter state Clinton did not win in any of his two presidential elections; and Republicans retained Louisiana's governorship, Louisiana voted for Clinton in both 1992 and 1996. Al Gore lost all three of these states in 2000 presidential election.
