1792 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election

The 1792 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on April 9, 1792, in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Connecticut. Incumbent Federalist lieutenant governor Oliver Wolcott won a plurality of the vote in his re-election bid against fellow Federalist candidate and incumbent United States Senator from Connecticut Oliver Ellsworth and other candidates. However, as no candidate received a majority of the total votes cast as was required by Connecticut law, the election was forwarded to the Connecticut legislature, who chose Wolcott as lieutenant governor.^[1]
