Election

1910 Connecticut gubernatorial election

The 1910 Connecticut gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1910. Democratic nominee Simeon E. Baldwin defeated Republican nominee Charles A. Goodwin with 46.48% of the vote. This was the first such election in which a candidate won with only a plurality of the vote, as the state constitution no longer required a subsequent vote by the Connecticut General Assembly in the absence of a majority.

Governor George L. Lilley, who was elected in 1908, died in office after three months in office. Frank B. Weeks, who ascended to the office following Lilley's death, did not run for reelection.
