Mapping Early American Elections

17th Congress: National, 1820-1821

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

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.

Legend

Map legend: colors indicate party affiliation — Federalist or Unaffiliated/other; darker shading indicates a larger vote margin (up to 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100%); marker shapes distinguish counties, congressional districts, major cities or towns, and areas with no data available.
