• Source: 1962 Tennessee gubernatorial election

    • The 1962 Tennessee gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1962, to elect the next governor of Tennessee. Incumbent Democratic governor Buford Ellington was ineligible to run for re-election, as the Constitution of Tennessee prohibited governors from serving consecutive terms at the time. Former Democratic governor Frank G. Clement defeated independent candidate William Anderson, and Republican nominee Hubert Patty, with 50.9% of the vote.
    In the primary, Clement defeated Memphis attorney Bill Farris and Chattanooga mayor Rudy Olgiati.
