1796 Connecticut gubernatorial election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1796 Connecticut gubernatorial election was held on 14 April 1796 in order to elect the Governor of Connecticut. Incumbent Federalist Party Acting Governor Oliver Wolcott won a plurality of the vote in his election bid against other candidates. However, as no candidate received a majority of the total votes cast as was required by Connecticut law, the election was forwarded to the Connecticut legislature, who chose Wolcott as governor.[1]
