The 1795 Vermont gubernatorial election for Governor of Vermont took place throughout September, and resulted in the re-election of Governor Thomas Chittenden to a one-year term.[1]

The Vermont General Assembly met in Windsor on October 8.[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][2] In the election for lieutenant governor, Jonathan Hunt was reelected to a second one-year term.[1]

The freemen also re-elected Samuel Mattocks as treasurer, his ninth one-year term.[1]
