19th Congress: South Carolina 1824

South Carolina elected nine Democratic-Republicans to the Nineteenth Congress. Eight of those Democratic-Republicans were part of a faction led by Andrew Jackson, and the other Democratic-Republican was part of a faction led by William Crawford.

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

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

In 1825, a special election was held in which William Drayton was elected to replace Joel R. Poinsett, who had resigned.

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.
