Notes

1. ^For a full list of candidates that received electoral votes, seeList of people who received an electoral vote in the United States Electoral College.
2. ^In elections held before the ratification of the 12th Amendment, each elector cast two electoral votes for president. For these elections, the party's candidate that received the most electoral votes is assigned the position of presidential nominee for the purposes of the table, while the party's candidate that won the second most electoral votes is assigned the position of vice presidential nominee. For these elections, the "electoral vote percentage" column reflects the percentage of electors won by the presidential candidate, rather than the percentage of electoral votes won.
3. ^^abThe results columns reflect the presidential vote. The last column (marked "R") indicates the presidential nominee's ranking in number of electoral votes in that election, with the popular vote breaking ties, with the exception that any presidential election winner is always ranked first.
4. ^This column indicates the type of candidacy. An "I" indicates an incumbent president, "C" indicates a challenger to an incumbent, "O" indicates an open seat (meaning there was no incumbent in the race), and "T" indicates a (post-1800) third party or independent ticket.
5. ^^abcdThe candidate's most recently held elected or senior appointive position on election day. If they did not hold such a position, their occupation is listed instead. For elections held prior to the1848 presidential election (the first election with a national election day), the column reflects the candidate's position or occupation on November 1st of the year of the election.
6. ^^abcdThe candidate's age on election day. For elections held prior to the1848 presidential election (the first election with a national election day), the column reflects the candidate's age on November 1st of the year of the election.
7. ^Shriver replaced the original Democratic vice presidential nominee, Missouri SenatorThomas Eagleton, after the latter withdrew from the ticket. Eagleton remains the only major party nominee to withdraw from the ticket after being nominated.^[4]
8. ^Sherman died before election day, andNicholas M. Butler received the electoral votes that would have gone to Sherman had he lived.^[4]
9. ^Bryan was also thePopulist nominee in 1896;Thomas E. Watson was his running mate on the Populist ticket. Bryan's popular and electoral vote numbers reflect his combined vote on both the Democratic and Populist tickets.
10. ^Greeley and Brown were nominated by theLiberal Republican Party and were subsequently nominated by the Democratic Party at theirnational convention. Greeley died shortly after the election, but before the electoral votes were cast. Most of the electoral votes that would have been cast for Greeley insteadwent to former Indiana SenatorThomas A. Hendricks orBenjamin Gratz Brown. Greeley's EV% reflects what he would have won had he lived and if there were nofaithless electors.
11. ^Lincoln and Johnson were nominated by a coalition of Republicans,War Democrats, and border stateUnionists that called itself the National Union Party.
12. ^^abThe Democratic Party held threenational conventions in 1860. The first produced a deadlock and the second nominated Douglas. A group of Southern Democrats bolted from the second convention and held a third convention, which nominated Breckinridge. The Breckinridge-Lane ticket is often labelled as the "Southern Democratic" ticket while the Douglas-Johnson ticket is sometimes labelled as the "Northern Democratic" ticket.
13. ^Van Buren campaigned without a running mate as the party refused to re-nominate Vice PresidentRichard Mentor Johnson but was unable to agree on an alternative. A majority of Van Buren's electors ultimately cast their vice presidential vote for Johnson.
14. ^Though Van Buren won a majority of electoral votes, Johnson only won a plurality as Virginia's electors voted for Van Buren for president andWilliam Smith for vice president. Under the terms of the12th Amendment, the Senate held acontingent election to elect the vice president, which Johnson won.
15. ^^abcdAs the Whig Party was unable to unite around a single candidate, three Whigs ran for president in the1836 presidential election; there was only one Whig ticket in each state.^[5] William Henry Harrison was the Whig candidate in fifteen states, most of which were in the North, Hugh Lawson White was the Whig candidate in nine states, all of which were in the South, and Daniel Webster was the Whig candidate in Massachusetts. Additionally, Willie Person Mangum received the electoral votes of South Carolina, where the legislature determined the allocation of electoral votes. Despite facing multiple opponents, Democrat Martin Van Buren won re-election with a majority of the electoral vote.
16. ^^abcdWhigs electors split their votes among two vice presidential candidates in 1836.Francis Grangerwon most of the votes cast by electors that voted for Harrison or Webster, whileJohn Tyler won most of the votes of the White and Mangum electors.
17. ^^abcdIn 1824, the Democratic-Republicans failed to agree on one candidate, and four Democratic-Republican candidates received electoral votes. No candidate won a majority of the electoral vote, so the House of Representatives conducted acontingent election under the terms of the 12th Amendment. The House chose between the three candidates with the most electoral votes, which were Jackson, Adams, and Crawford. Adams won the contingent election.
18. ^^abcdIn 1824, several vice presidential candidates received electoral votes, but Calhounwon a majority of the electoral vote for vice president. Calhoun is italicized in the table because he appears twice for the same election.
19. ^Monroe was essentially unopposed in the election. Afaithless elector,William Plumer, cast an electoral vote for Secretary of StateJohn Quincy Adams, while unpledged Federalist electors and the independent candidacy ofDeWitt Clinton won a small portion of the popular vote.
20. ^King was not formally nominated and did not have a designated running mate. His electoral votes came from Federalist unpledged electors appointed by the state legislatures of Connecticut, Delaware, and Massachusetts.
21. ^Clinton was supported by a mix of anti-Madison Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. Clinton himself remained in the Democratic-Republican Party. His running mate, Ingersoll, was a Federalist.
22. ^Jefferson tied his running mate, Burr, in electoral votes. As Jefferson and Burr tied, theHouse held acontingent election between Jefferson and Burr. Jefferson won the contingent election to become president, while Burr became vice president.
23. ^Though Adams won election as president, Pinckney did not win election as vice president. Instead,Thomas Jefferson won election as vice president since he had the second most electoral votes. In addition to Pinckney and Adams, five other Federalists received electoral votes.
24. ^^abThough Washington was essentially unopposed, Adams faced competition for the second most electoral votes in both 1789 and 1792. In 1789, Adams's strongest competition came fromJohn Jay of New York, while in 1792 Adams's strongest opposition came fromGeorge Clinton of New York.
25. ^^abByrd and Thurmond did not seek national office in 1960, but received the votes ofunpledged electors from Mississippi and Alabama.
26. ^Cranfill was allowed to appear on state ballots despite the fact that he was constitutionally ineligible to be vice president due to his age.^[6]
27. ^Floyd did not actively campaign in the 1832 presidential election. He won the votes of South Carolina, where the legislature appointed electors.
28. ^Clinton did not actively seek office in 1820.
