The 1824 New Hampshire gubernatorial election was held on 9 March 1824 in order to elect the Governor of New Hampshire. Former Democratic-Republican United States Senator from New Hampshire David L. Morril defeated incumbent Democratic-Republican Governor Levi Woodbury and former Federalist Governor Jeremiah Smith. Since no candidate received a majority in the popular vote, Morril was elected by the New Hampshire General Court per the state constitution.[1]

General election

On election day, 9 March 1824, Democratic-Republican candidate David L. Morril won the popular vote by a margin of 3,244 votes against his foremost opponent and incumbent Democratic-Republican Governor Levi Woodbury. But since no candidate received a majority of the popular vote, a separate election was held by the New Hampshire General Court, which chose Morril as the winner, thereby retaining Democratic-Republican control over the office of Governor. Morril was sworn in as the 10th Governor of New Hampshire on 2 June 1824.[2]
