The 1806 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place throughout September, and resulted in the re-election of Isaac Tichenor to a one-year term.[1]

The Vermont General Assembly met in Middlebury on October 9.[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]

The committee's examination of the votes showed that Governor Isaac Tichenor was chosen for a tenth one-year term.[1] In the election for lieutenant governor, the voters selected Paul Brigham for an eleventh one-year term.[1] Benjamin Swan was elected to his seventh one-year term as treasurer.[1]

In the races for lieutenant governor and treasurer, the vote totals and names of other candidates were not recorded.[1] According to a contemporary newspaper report, the vote totals for governor were as follows.[2]
