The 1832 New York gubernatorial election was held from November 5 to 7, 1832, to elect the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

Candidates

The Democratic Party nominated U.S. senator William L. Marcy. They nominated University of the State of New York regent John Tracy for Lieutenant Governor.

The Anti-Masonic Party nominated state assemblyman and 1830 gubernatorial candidate Francis Granger. They nominated Samuel Stevens for Lieutenant Governor. The National Republicans supported the Granger/Stevens ticket as part of a coalition agreement ahead of the 1832 presidential election, which saw the two parties pool their votes in an unsuccessful effort to deny Andrew Jackson the electoral vote of New York.[1]

Results

The Democratic ticket of Marcy and Tracy was elected.
