Presidential Election of 1804

The Presidential Election of 1804 was the fifth in U.S. history and was held over a thirty-three day period from November 2, 1804 until December 5, 1804. This was the first election where the Vice Presidential candidates were chosen by the two opposing political parties (Democratic-Republicans and Federalists), and added to the ballots as running mates to the Presidential candidates, thereby eliminating the previous election style where the runner-up would automatically be Vice President.
