Question

governor - elect
special ceremonies will be held across the nation for all the
and their deputies during their inaugurations this month.

Explanation:

To form the plural of "governor - elect", we follow the rule for compound nouns with a hyphen. For such nouns, we usually make the main noun (the one that carries the meaning of the entity) plural. Here, "governor" is the main noun, so we pluralize "governor" while keeping "elect" as it is. So the plural form of "governor - elect" is "governors - elect".

Answer:

governors - elect
