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.
