The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 11. [1] 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. [1] With the Federalist Party defunct, Democratic-Republican Richard Skinner was the only major candidate. [1] The committee determined that Skinner had easily won a second one-year term against only scattering opposition. [1]

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. [2] The vote totals were recorded as 11,817 (98.8%) for Cahoon, with 146 (1.2%) scattering. [3]

Benjamin Swan was unopposed for election to a one-year term as treasurer, his twenty-second. [1] Though nominally a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and often ran unopposed. [4] Vote totals for the 1821 election were recorded as 10,637 (99.6%) for Swan and 41 (0.04%) scattering. [4]

In the race for governor, the results of the popular vote were reported as follows. [1]
