Mapping Early American Elections

17th Congress: Missouri 1820

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

Missouri elected one Democratic-Republican to the Seventeenth Congress.

The map for this election is incomplete due to the lack of returns in many areas.

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