Apresidential election was held inMaryland on November 11, 1816 as part of the1816 United States presidential election.[1] TheDemocratic-Republican ticket of theU.S. secretary of stateJames Monroe and thegovernor of New YorkDaniel D. Tompkins defeated theFederalist ticket.[2] Although the Federalists failed to nominate a presidential candidate,[3][4] Federalistunpledged electors carried threesingle-member districts; the electors chosen from these districts subsequentlyabstained from theElectoral College vote. Monroe carried the remaining six districts, including twomulti-member districts, worth a combined eight electoral votes. Monroe won the national election handily, defeating the seniorU.S. senator fromNew YorkRufus King, who received 34 votes from unpledged electors despite not being a candidate.[5]
Maryland chose 11 electors from nine electoral districts—seven single-member districts and two districts represented by two members apiece. Nineteenth century election laws required voters to vote directly for members of the Electoral College rather than for president. This sometimes resulted in small differences in the number of votes cast for electors pledged to the same presidential candidate if some voters did not vote for all the electors nominated by a party, or if multiple tickets pledged to the same candidate appeared.[6] This table counts all votes for Democratic-Republican electors in single-member districts as votes for Monroe and all votes for Federalist electors as votes for unpledged electors; for the two multi-member districts, the most popular elector from each ticket is counted. Electors whose allegiance could not be determined are counted separately.
