The 1829 Vermont gubernatorial election took place in September and October, and resulted in the election of Samuel C. Crafts to a one-year term as governor.[1]
In the election for lieutenant governor, the committee determined that Democratic-Republican Henry Olin had won election to a third one-year term.[1] A contemporary newspaper account reported the vote totals as: Olin, 19,740 (81.5%); Lyman Fitch, 4,481 (18.5%).[2]
