13th Congress: Virginia 1813

Virginia elected seven Federalist and sixteen Democratic-Republicans to the Thirteenth Congress.

The map for this election is incomplete due to the lack of returns in a few counties.

Following the 1810 Census, Virginia gained one more seat in the House of Representatives.

Virginia used a district system for electing members to Congress.

In 1814, a special election was held in which Philip Barbour was elected to replace John Dawson, who had died.

In most cases, only candidates who received more than 5 percent of the vote in a district are reported. Other candidates are reported as a group, but only if they in aggregate received more than 5 percent of the vote. In addition, percentages for each district may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The term Dissenting Republican includes various breakaway factions of the Democratic-Republican party.
