The Louisiana special gubernatorial election, 1830, was the sixth gubernatorial election to take place after Louisiana achieved statehood. Under Article III Sec 2 of the 1812 the Governor was elected in two steps. On the first Monday in July, eligible voters went to the polls and voted. The returns were sent to the President of the Louisiana State Senate. On the second day of the session of the Louisiana State Legislature, the Louisiana House of Representatives and Senate met in joint session and voted between the top two candidates. The candidate who received a majority in General Assembly became Governor. This particular election was called after the death of Governor Pierre Derbigny
