The 1811 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place in September, and resulted in the election of Jonas Galusha to a one-year term.[1]
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 10.[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] The committee's examination showed that Jonas Galusha defeated Martin Chittenden to win election to a third one-year term.[1]
In the election for lieutenant governor, Paul Brigham defeated William Chamberlain to win his sixteenth one-year term.[1] In this contest, one Vermont newspaper recorded the vote totals as: Paul Brigham (Democratic-Republican), 11,896 (55.8%); William Chamberlain (Federalist), 9,415 (44.2%).[2]
Benjamin Swan was elected to a one-year term as treasurer, his twelfth, though the vote totals were not recorded.[1] According to contemporary newspaper articles, Swan, a Federalist was also endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans, and so was unopposed for reelection.[3][4]
