The1824 United States presidential election in Illinois took place between October 26 and December 2, 1824, as part of the1824 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forPresident andVice President.
During this election, theDemocratic-Republican Party was the only major national party, and four different candidates from this party sought the Presidency. AlthoughIllinois voted forJohn Quincy Adams overAndrew Jackson,Henry Clay, andWilliam H. Crawford, the district-based system used for choosing electors meant that only one of the state's electoral votes were assigned to Adams, while the remaining two were assigned to Jackson.[1] This was the first presidential election that four candidates each won at least one county in the same state. This feat would be shared byVirginia in the same election; however, the only other occurrences in presidential election history have been in1860 (inMissouri), and in1912 (inNorth Dakota and inKansas).[2]
