United States gubernatorial elections were held in 1802, in 12 states, concurrent with the House and Senate elections.

Contents

Six governors were elected by popular vote and six were elected by state legislatures.

In Georgia, a special election was held following the resignation of incumbent Governor Josiah Tattnall.

In New Jersey, three tied ballots were taken in October and November, resulting in no choice of Governor. The Vice-President of the Executive Council, John Lambert, served the term as acting Governor.

In North Carolina, the winner of the ordinary election, John B. Ashe, died before taking office. A special election was then held.

Notes

  1. ↑ Glashan records this election as taking place on 12 April.
  2. ↑ Some sources give Murray's total as 21 and/or credit William Vans Murray with one vote. The result given here is that given in the Maryland Senate Journal.
  3. ↑ A contemporary source gives the combined Gerry and scattering votes as 19,600. [16] The number for Gerry is variously given as 19,443, 19,445, 19,581, and 19,584, and the number scattering as 157, 155, 19, or 16. The result given here is the most likely correct one given the town and county breakdown at A New Nation Votes.
  4. ↑ Some sources describe Williams as a Democratic-Republican, although Broussard refers to him as "a quiet but unmistakeable Federalist" and "undeniably a Federalist", and Gilpatrick describes him as a "mild Federalist." [43] [44] [45] [46]
  5. ↑ Some sources give Taylor's total as 19. The result given here is that given in the North Carolina Legislative Papers.
  6. ↑ Williams' term was extended until the legislature could elect a replacement for Ashe.
  7. ↑ Although the various sources agree Turner received 112 votes on the final ballot, they disagree on the full result. The result given here is that given in the North Carolina Legislative Papers.
  8. ↑ OurCampaigns records this candidate as James Greene but no other source agrees with this.
  9. ↑ A New Nation Votes records an additional scattering vote but no other source agrees with this.
  10. ↑ Although most sources agree Page was elected "unanimously" or "without opposition", one contemporary source states "There was no opposition. A few votes, however, were given to Mr. Venable."
