The 1864 Vermont gubernatorial election for governor of Vermont took place on September 6.[1] Incumbent J. Gregory Smith was a candidate for reelection to a second one-year term, in keeping with the provisions of the Republican Party's "Mountain Rule".[2] The Democratic nominee was Timothy P. Redfield, a former member of the Vermont Senate, the Free Soil Party's 1851 nominee for governor, and the Democratic nominee in 1863.[3] In the general election, the Republican Party's dominance of Vermont politics continued, and Smith was easily reelected.[3]
