The 1810 Connecticut gubernatorial election took place on April 9, 1810.[1]
Federalist Lieutenant Governor John Treadwell had become acting Governor on the death of Governor Jonathan Trumbull Jr. on August 7, 1809.
Treadwell was elected to a term in his own right, defeating Democratic-Republican nominee Asa Spalding and Federalist nominee Roger Griswold.
Since no candidate received a majority in the popular vote, Treadwell was elected by the Connecticut General Assembly per the Connecticut Charter of 1662.
Griswold was also a candidate in the concurrent election for Lieutenant Governor.
As no candidate received a majority of the vote, the Connecticut General Assembly was required to decide the election, the House of Representatives making a choice with the concurrence of the Executive Council. The legislative election was held on May 11, 1810.[4]
The Executive Council concurred unanimously in the House of Representatives' choice of Treadwell.[4]
