1820 United States presidential election

The 1820 United States presidential election was the 9th election in the history of the United States. It was held from November 1 to December 6, 1820.

This was the last of three candidates in U.S. history in which a nominee ran unopposed for President, the other two being the elections of George Washington in 1788-89 and 1792.

The Democratic-Republican Ticket of President James Monroe of Virginia and Vice President Daniel D. Tompkins won the election, securing 231 of 232 electoral votes. The lone elector, William Plumer of New Hampshire, voted as a faithful elector for Secretary of State and future President John Quincy Adams.

This election marked the first time in U.S. history that the incumbent party won the presidency three consecutive times. It also marked the only time in U.S. history that three separate candidates won the presidency for two consecutive terms.
