14th Congress: Pennsylvania 1814

Pennsylvania elected seven Federalist and sixteen Democratic-Republicans to the Fourteenth Congress.

Pennsylvania used a district system for electing members to Congress. Each district elected one member of Congress except District 1, which elected four members, and Districts 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10, which each elected two members. The votes cast in Warren County are included in the Venango County totals.

In 1815, a special election was held in which James Wallace was elected to replace Amos Ellmaker, who had resigned his office.

In 1815, a special election was held in which Thomas Burnside was elected to replace David Bard, who had died.

In 1816, a special election was held in which William P. Maclay was elected to replace Thomas Burnside, who had resigned his 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.
