The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 11.[2] 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.[2]
The committee's examination of the votes showed that Jonas Galusha defeated former Governor Isaac Tichenor to win election to a second one-year term.[2] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for a one-year term, his fifteenth.[2] Benjamin Swan was elected to his eleventh one-year term as treasurer.[2]
In the race for treasurer, the vote totals were not recorded.[2] According to an October 1810 newspaper article, Swan was unopposed.[3]
In the lieutenant governor's contest, one Vermont newspaper recorded the vote totals as: Paul Brigham (Democratic-Republican), 12,261 (62.6%); Lewis R. Morris (Federalist), 6,378 (32.6%); scattering, 938 (4.8%).[4]
