The 1804 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 Rutland on October 11.[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 an eighth one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for a ninth one-year term.[1] Benjamin Swan was elected to a fifth one-year term as treasurer.[1] According to contemporary newspaper accounts, the vote totals for governor were as follows.[1]
In the races for lieutenant governor and treasurer, the totals were not recorded, but Brigham and Swan were reported to have received majorities of over 4,000 votes.[1]
