General election

On election day, November 4, 1924, Republican nominee John H. Trumbull won the election with 67.70% of the vote, thereby retaining Republican control over the office of lieutenant governor. Trumbull was sworn in as the 79th lieutenant governor of Connecticut on January 7, 1925, but would only serve for a single day as former lieutenant governor Hiram Bingham III was elected both governor and U.S. Senator for Connecticut and thus resigned as governor after a single day to take up his seat in the U.S. Senate, leading Trumbull to succeed Bingham as governor and incumbent President pro tempore of the Connecticut Senate J. Edwin Brainard to succeed Trumbull as lieutenant governor.
