Presidential Election of 1824

The Presidential Election of 1824 was the tenth in U.S. history and held over a thirty-six day period from October 26, 1824 until December 2, 1824. This was the first in U.S. history that anyone of the candidates did not receive the amount of Electoral Votes required to win the election . As such, it required for a special contingent election to be held in the United States House of Representatives with each state's Representatives deciding which candidate should receive their state's Electoral Votes.

131 Electoral Voted were needed to win. Since none of the candidates reached the amount required, a contingent election was held in the United States House of Representatives between the top three candidates, in which the state Representatives would decide which of the top three candidates would receive their state's Electoral Votes, with the winner being whichever one received the most votes.
J.Q. Adams: 87
A. Jackson: 71
W.H. Crawford: 54
