Bramblett, 61, who was sentenced to death for killing a family of four in southern Virginia in 1994, maintained that he was innocent and said he chose electrocution as a form of protest.
Bramblett was pronounced dead at 9:09 p.m. at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, the Associated Press reported. He was the first inmate to be executed this year.
Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner(D) had denied Bramblett's request for clemency less than an hour before the execution.
