The 1821 Vermont gubernatorial election took place on September 4, 1821. [1] It resulted in the election of Richard Skinner to a one-year term as governor. [2]
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 11. [2] The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to review the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council. [2] With the Federalist Party defunct, Democratic-Republican Richard Skinner was the only major candidate. [2] The committee determined that Skinner had easily won a second one-year term against only scattering opposition. [2]
In the election for lieutenant governor, the committee determined that Democratic-Republican William Cahoon, who was unopposed, had won election to a second one-year term. [3] The vote totals were recorded as 11,817 (98.8%) for Cahoon, with 146 (1.2%) scattering. [4]
Benjamin Swan was unopposed for election to a one-year term as treasurer, his twenty-second. [2] Though nominally a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and often ran unopposed. [5] Vote totals for the 1821 election were recorded as 10,637 (99.6%) for Swan and 41 (0.04%) scattering. [5]
In the race for governor, the results of the popular vote were reported as follows. [2]
