The map for this election is incomplete due to the lack of returns at the town or county level.
Vermont used the district system for electing members to Congress.
In 1808, a special election was held in which Democrat Samuel Shaw was elected to replace James Witherell, 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.
