1969 Maryland special gubernatorial election
The 1969 Maryland gubernatorial special election was not a direct election, but a vote in the Maryland General Assembly to determine who would assume the governorship of Maryland after Spiro Agnew 's resignation, following his election to the U.S. vice presidency .
At this time Maryland didn't have a position of lieutenant governor , and state law did not designate a person who would assume the office of governor in case of vacancy (unlike most states, when there is always a designated person such as lieutenant governor, Senate President or Secretary of State).
In case of vacancy, the General Assembly would choose a governor.
In 1969 the Assembly had a Democratic majority, so it was clear that Republican Agnew's successor would be a Democrat.
The election was held on January 7, 1969. State representative Marvin Mandel was elected governor. He took office that same day, upon Agnew's resignation.

Mandel (D ) – 126 (70.00%):[1]
Morton (R ) – 26 (14.44%)
Gallagher (D ) – 15 (8.33%)
James (D ) – 13 (7.22%)
Although there were three Democrats and only one Republican on the ballot, Mandel was elected easily. He was elected in the next regular direct election in 1970 and re-elected in 1974 .
