1950 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election

The 1950 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1950 in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Connecticut. Republican nominee and former mayor of Hartford Edward N. Allen defeated Democratic nominee Dennis M. Carroll. This was the first lieutenant gubernatorial election since the law was changed to have Connecticut's lieutenant governors elected every four years, instead of every two years, as had been done previously.

On election day, November 7, 1950, Republican nominee Edward N. Allen won the election by a margin of 6,598 votes against his opponent Democratic nominee Dennis M. Carroll, thereby gaining Republican control over the office of lieutenant governor. Allen was sworn in as the 92nd lieutenant governor of Connecticut on January 3, 1951.^[1]
