This page includes an interactive map. A text version of the same election data is available in the table below the map.

Louisiana elected one Democratic-Republican to the Thirteenth Congress.

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

Louisiana used a statewide at-large system for electing members to Congress.

In an October 1812 special election, Thomas B. Robertson was also elected to serve in the lame duck 12th Congress.

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.
