On November 8, 2022, New Mexico elected a State Auditor. The only two candidates were a Democrat and a Libertarian. The Libertarian, Travis Sanchez, polled 38.07% of the vote. That is the highest percentage ever received by a minor party or independent candidate in a New Mexico statewide office. The previous record had been set in 1912 by Theodore Roosevelt, Progressive Party presidential nominee, who got 35.91% in New Mexico.

The 2022 showing for Sanchez was the second highest Libertarian percentage showing in a statewide race, in Libertarian Party history. The record for Libertarians running for statewide office was set in 2012 by Mike Fellows, Libertarian nominee for Montana Clerk of the State Supreme Court. He got 43.13%.

On November 8, 2022, thirteen independent candidates were elected to state legislatures. This is similar to other recent election years. Fifteen had been elected in 2020, and thirteen in 2018.

The thirteen elected in 2022 are: Alaska: Daniel Ortiz, Rebecca Himschoot, Calvin R. Schrage, Alyse S. Galvin, Bryce Edgmon, and Josiah Patkotak. The last two were unopposed. Maine: William Pluecker and Walter Riseman. Massachusetts: Susannah Whipps. Rhode Island: Jon D. Brien. Vermont: Jed Lipsky, Kelly Pajala, and Laura Sibilia.

The Florida Secretary of State decided not to appeal the U.S. District Court decision in Hetherington v Madden, in which the court struck down the Florida law that makes it a crime for a candidate for non-partisan office to mention his or her political party.
