The Vermont General Assembly met in Rutland on October 13.[1] The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to examine the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council.[1]
In the race for governor, Thomas Chittenden, who had been governor from 1778 to 1789, and again starting in 1790, was re-elected for a one-year term.[1] The freemen also re-elected Samuel Mattocks as treasurer, his tenth one-year term.[1]
In the election for lieutenant governor, no candidate received a majority of the popular vote.[1] As required by the Vermont Constitution, the General Assembly was required to choose.[1] On October 14, the Assembly selected Paul Brigham for a one-year term.[1] The names of candidates and balloting totals for statewide offices were not recorded.[1]
