1843–44 Massachusetts gubernatorial election
The 1843–44 Massachusetts gubernatorial election consisted of an initial popular election held on November 13, 1843, that was followed by a legislative vote held on January 8, 1844. The ultimate task of electing the governor had been placed before the Massachusetts General Court because no candidate received the majority of the vote that was constitutionally required for a candidate to be elected through the popular election. Incumbent Democratic Governor Marcus Morton was defeated by Whig Party nominee George N. Briggs.
