The 1832 Vermont gubernatorial election took place in September and October, and resulted in the election of William A. Palmer to a one-year term as governor. [1]
The candidates for governor in 1832 were: incumbent William A. Palmer (Anti-Masonic); former Governor Samuel C. Crafts (National Republican); and Democrat Ezra Meech. [1] In the general election, the General Assembly, which met in Montpelier on October 11, determined that the results were: total votes, 41,027; Palmer, 17,318 (42.2%); Crafts, 15,499 (37.8%); Meech, 8,210 (20.0%). [1]
Because no candidate received a majority as required by the Vermont Constitution, the General Assembly was required to select. [1] Over 42 ballots, 223 members cast ballots, meaning 112 were required for a choice. [2] Palmer consistently led the balloting with more than 100 votes, and attained as many as 111. [3] On the 43rd ballot, 222 members cast ballots, meaning 111 were required for a choice. [3] One Crafts supporter did not vote and one voted for Palmer, who was elected with 112 votes to 72 for Crafts, 37 for Meech, and 1 recorded as scattering. [3]
In the race for lieutenant governor, the total votes were 40,914. [1] Anti-Mason and incumbent Lebbeus Egerton received 17,181 votes (42.0%), Jedediah Harris, a National Republican, received 15,304 (37.4%), and Democrat John Roberts received 8,429 (20.6%). [1] The General Assembly was required to choose and with 219 members voting on the first ballot, 110 votes were necessary for a choice. [1] Egerton was elected with 111 votes to 66 for Harris, 40 for Roberts, and 2 scattering. [1]
Benjamin Swan won election to a one-year term as treasurer, his thirty-third. [1] Though he had nominally been a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and even after the demise of the Federalist Party he was frequently unopposed. [4] In 1832, he was the candidate of the National Republicans [5] and Democrats, [6] and Augustine Clarke was the Anti-Masonic candidate. [7] The popular vote was reported as: total votes cast, 40,389; Swan, 23,687 (58.6%); Clarke, 16,702 (41.4%). [8]
