4th Congress: New Hampshire 1794
New Hampshire elected four Federalists to the Fourth Congress.
Mapping this election is not possible because of insufficient returns at the town or county level.
Although New Hampshire used a statewide at-large method for electing members to Congress, state law required that candidates receive a majority of votes in order to win. In a second runoff election, Abiel Foster beat the incumbent Paine Wingate.

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.
