Incumbent Anti-Masonic governor William A. Palmer contested the election with Democratic nominee William Czar Bradley and Whig nominee Charles Paine.
Since no candidate received a majority in the popular vote, the state constitution required the Vermont General Assembly and Vermont Executive Council to meet in joint convention and elect a governor. After 63 inconclusive ballots, the General Assembly adjourned on November 2 without making a choice. As a result, Silas H. Jennison, who had been elected Lieutenant Governor with Whig and Anti-Masonic support, served the term as acting governor.
