From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A presidential election was held in Vermont on November 1, 1816 as part of the 1816 United States presidential election.[1] The Democratic-Republican ticket of the U.S. secretary of state James Monroe and the governor of New York Daniel D. Tompkins received 8 votes from electors chosen by the Vermont General Assembly.[2] The Federalist Party failed to nominate a candidate.[3] In the national election, Monroe easily defeated the senior U.S. senator from New York Rufus King, who received 34 votes from unpledged electors despite not being a candidate.[4]
