This was the first gubernatorial election held in November, as previous state elections in Connecticut were held in early April. As the term length for the governor had been extended from one year to two, Hubbard would be the first governor of Connecticut to serve a two-year term, and the first whose term began in early January. The previous inauguration date was in early May.
