This page includes an interactive map. A text version of the same election data is available in the table below the map.
Connecticut elected seven Federalists to the Fourth Congress, five of whom were incumbents.
Mapping this election is not possible because there are insufficient returns at the town and county levels.
Connecticut used a statewide at-large system for electing members to Congress.
In May 1795, Nathaniel Smith was elected in a special election to fill the seat vacated by Jonathan Trumbull after he was elected to the U.S. Senate.

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.
