18th Congress: New York 1822

New York elected thirty-four Democratic-Republicans to the Eighteenth Congress. Twelve of the Democratic-Republicans were part of an identifiable faction within the party. In New York, some candidates ran as Clintonians who supported internal improvements and soft money.

Following the 1820 Census, New York gained seven seats in the House of Representatives.

New York used a district system for electing members to Congress. Each district elected one member of Congress, except Districts 20 and 26, which each elected two members, and District 3, which elected three members.

In 1823, a special election was held in which William Woods was elected to replace William B. Rochester, who had resigned from 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.
