10th Congress: North Carolina 1806

North Carolina elected one Federalist and eleven Democratic-Republicans to the Tenth Congress.

The map for this election is incomplete due to the lack of returns at the county level.

North Carolina used the district system for electing members to Congress.

The election results in District 7 were contested and Congress ordered the seat vacated.

In 1808, a special election was held in which Federalist John Culpeper was elected to fill the seat in District 7.

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.
