1802 Virginia gubernatorial election

A gubernatorial election was held in Virginia on December 11, 1802. The former U.S. representative from Virginia's 12th congressional district John Page defeated the member of the Virginia House of Delegates from Prince Edward County Abraham B. Venable.
The incumbent governor of Virginia James Monroe was ineligible for re-election due to term limits established by the Constitution of Virginia. The election was conducted by the Virginia General Assembly in joint session. Page was the only declared candidate at the start of balloting. Voting proceeded in the House of Delegates chamber, after which the tellers withdrew to count the votes. Page was elected with a majority on the first ballot.
