The 1810 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place on September 4, 1810. [1] It resulted in the election of Jonas Galusha to a one-year term. [2]

The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 11. [2] The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to examine the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council. [2]

The committee's examination of the votes showed that Jonas Galusha defeated former Governor Isaac Tichenor to win election to a second one-year term. [2] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for a one-year term, his fifteenth. [2] Benjamin Swan was elected to his eleventh one-year term as treasurer. [2]

In the race for treasurer, the vote totals were not recorded. [2] According to an October 1810 newspaper article, Swan was unopposed. [3]
