The 1829 New Jersey gubernatorial election was held on 30 October 1829 in order to elect the governor of New Jersey. Democratic nominee and incumbent United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey Garret D. Wall was elected by the New Jersey General Assembly against incumbent Democratic-Republican governor Isaac Halstead Williamson. Wall however, declined to assume the office of governor on 2 November 1829 whereupon incumbent Democratic member of the New Jersey General Assembly Peter Dumont Vroom was instead elected, by a vote of 42 to Williamson's 13, to replace Wall as governor on 6 November 1829.[1][2]
