Do governors need to be in castles/towns at all times?

[fuze]

If you assign wife/companion to be the governor do they always need to be in the castle or town? Wife is the governor of the town which is also her home but is roaming with her party. I am not sure if its a bug or a feature because with the companion it does not work

I think it's actually a bug. Just like my husband being both a party leader at the other end of the world and a governor. It seems like governor's don't actually do much just yet.
