Maryland elected three Federalists and six Democratic-Republicans to the Ninth Congress.
Maryland used a district system for electing members to Congress. Each district elected one member of Congress except District 5, which elected two members.
In 1806, a special election was held in which Edward Lloyd was elected to replace Joseph H. Nicholson, who had resigned from office.

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.
