Congressional election results, 14th Congress: Louisiana 1814
District Candidate Party Vote Percentage Elected
At-large Thomas B. Robertson Democratic-Republican 2,684 90.6% ✓ Elected
At-large John B. Prevost Federalist 242 8.2% Not elected

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.
