The 1805 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place throughout September, and resulted in the re-election of Isaac Tichenor to a one-year term.[1]
The Vermont General Assembly met in Danville on October 10.[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 examined the votes, which showed that Isaac Tichenor was chosen for a ninth one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for a tenth one-year term.[1] Benjamin Swan was elected to a sixth one-year term as treasurer.[1] According to contemporary newspaper accounts, the vote totals for governor were as follows.[2]
In the races for lieutenant governor and treasurer, the totals were not recorded, but Brigham was reported to have won by a majority of 5,590.[2] Swan's majority was 3,440.[2]
