U S presidential election
| Contents |
Summary
President James Monroe ran virtually unopposed for re-election, but one elector cast his ballot for John Quincy Adams, allegedly to ensure that George Washington remained the only American president unanimously chosen by the electoral college.
This election also marked the death knell for the Federalist Party, which did not nominate a candidate for either President or Vice President.
In all, 235 electors were appointed, but deceased electors from Pennsylvania, Mississippi and Tennessee were not replaced prior to votes being cast.
