Louisiana

[edit]

Louisiana held an election for the 16th Congress at the same time as it held a special election. Data were only available for the special election, but the general election would presumably have had very similar results, and so the results for the special election are duplicated here

New York

[edit]

At this time, the Democratic-Republicans in New York were divided into two factions, the "Bucktails" who were opposed to Governor Dewitt Clinton's Erie Canal project, led by Martin Van Buren, and on the other side, Clinton's supporters, known as Clintonians. In many districts, the remaining Federalists allied with the Clintonians, with candidates running on a joint ticket. Several candidates who ran under that joint ticket cannot be clearly categorized, and are marked C/F. Others who ran under the joint ticket are marked by their party with a footnote indicating that they ran under the joint ticket. This election was held April 26-28, 1818

In the 1st district, an election dispute arose. Initial returns showed the winners to be Silas Wood and Ebenezer Sage. This election was contested, however, on the grounds that there were 396 votes for "James Guyon" which, when added to the total number of votes reported for James Guyon, Jr., would place Guyon in second place, above Sage. Sage never appeared to take his seat, and Guyon was awarded the seat on January 14, 1820[14]

There were five vacancies during the 16th Congress in Virginia's representation[35].

Archer (DR) who took office January 18, 1820. The second was in the 20th district caused by James Johnson (DR)'s resignation on February 1, 1820. He was replaced by John C.

Non-voting delegates

[edit]

There were four territories with the right to send non-voting delegates to the 16th Congress, two of which, Michigan Territory and Arkansas Territory were new to this Congress. Alabama Territory did not send a delegate, however, being admitted as the State of Alabama near the beginning of the First Session.
