The 1808 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place throughout September, and resulted in the election of Isaac Tichenor to a one-year term.[1]
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier 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]
The committee's examination of the votes showed that former Governor Isaac Tichenor defeated incumbent Israel Smith for a one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for his thirteenth one-year term.[1] Benjamin Swan was elected to a one-year term as treasurer, his ninth.[1]
In the races for lieutenant governor and treasurer, the vote totals and names of other candidates were not recorded.[1] In the race for governor, a contemporary newspaper article reported the results as follows.[1]
