In the election for lieutenant governor, incumbent Joseph Marsh indicated in August that he would not be a candidate for reelection.[1] No candidate obtained a majority of the popular vote.[1] On October 15, the legislature elected Peter Olcott to a one-year term.[1]
The freemen re-elected Samuel Mattocks as treasurer, his fourth one-year term. The names of candidates and balloting totals for statewide offices were not recorded. According to an article in the Vermont Gazette, Chittenden's majority was over 1,300 votes.[1]
This was the final gubernatorial election in the independent republic of Vermont, because Vermont was admitted to the Union as the 14th state on March 4, 1791.[2]
