The1808 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on an unknown date as part of the1808 United States presidential election. Voters chose eleven representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Early elections were quite different from modern ones. Voters inMaryland voted for individual electors, who were pledged to vote for certain candidates. Often, which candidate an elector intended to support was unclear.[1] Prior to the ratification of the12th amendment, each elector did not distinguish between a vote cast for president and vice president, and simply cast two votes.[2]
Starting with the1796 United States presidential election and ending with the1824 United States presidential election, Maryland used an electoral district system to choose its electors, with each district electing a single elector. This method is similar to the wayNebraska andMaine choose their electors in modern elections.
