Presidential Election of 1800

The Presidential Election of 1800 was the fourth in U.S. history and was held over a thirty-four day period from October 31, 1800 until December 3, 1800. As with the previous election, the Popular Vote was cast between the two most popular candidates from the opposing parties, the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists. This was the first election to use the Ticket Method, where a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate would share the nomination, with the runner-up in each party becoming the Vice Presidential nominee.
