The Vermont General Assembly met in Rutland on October 11.[1] 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.[1]

In the race for governor, Thomas Chittenden, who had been governor from 1778 to 1789, and again starting in 1790, was re-elected for a one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, Peter Olcott was re-elected to a third one-year term.[1] The freemen also re-elected Samuel Mattocks as treasurer, his sixth one-year term.[1] The names of candidates and balloting totals for statewide offices were not recorded.[1]
