The 1819 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place in September and October, and resulted in the election of Jonas Galusha to a one-year term.
The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 14. 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. With the Federalist Party no longer a force in Vermont politics, the committee determined that incumbent Jonas Galusha had won a one-year term, defeating fellow Democratic-Republicans William Czar Bradley and Dudley Chase.
In the election for lieutenant governor, the legislature's canvassing committee determined that Paul Brigham had won election to a one-year term by defeating former lieutenant governor William Chamberlain and James D. Butler. According to a contemporary newspaper article, the vote totals were: Brigham 12,348 (85.0%); Chamberlain, 1,150 (7.9%); Butler, 265 (1.8%); scattering, 765 (5.3%).
Benjamin Swan was elected to a one-year term as treasurer, his twentieth. Nominally a Federalist, Swan was usually unopposed; in 1819 he received 11,652 votes, with no votes recorded for any other candidate.
