Mapping Early American Elections

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

In 1818, a special election was held in which William Davidson was elected to replace Daniel M. Forney, who had resigned from office.

In 1818, a special election was held in which James Stewart was elected to replace Alexander MacMillan, who had died.

In 1819, a special election was held in which Charles Fisher was elected to replace George Mumford, who had died.

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.
