The 1826 Vermont gubernatorial election took place in September and October, and resulted in the election of Ezra Butler to a one-year term as governor.[1]
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 12.[1] The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to review the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council.[1] The committee determined that Ezra Butler had won a one-year term.[1]
