The 1802 New Jersey gubernatorial election was held on 28 October 1802 in order to elect the governor of New Jersey. Incumbent Democratic-Republican governor Joseph Bloomfield ran against Federalist nominee and former United States senator from New Jersey Richard Stockton in a rematch of the previous election. But both received the same number of votes from the New Jersey General Assembly, resulting in a deadlocked election. The legislature was unable to pick a winning candidate, and on 25 November 1802 the vice-president of the Legislative Council John Lambert was appointed as acting governor to serve out the one-year term.[1]
