It was the first contested American presidential election, the first presidential election in which political parties played a dominant role, and the only presidential election in which a president and vice president were elected from opposing tickets. Incumbent vice president <a href="/wiki/John_Adams" title="John Adams">John Adams</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Federalist_Party" title="Federalist Party">Federalist Party</a> defeated former secretary of state <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson" title="Thomas Jefferson">Thomas Jefferson</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Democratic-Republican_Party" title="Democratic-Republican Party">Democratic-Republican Party</a>. </p><p>With incumbent president <a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a> having refused a third term in office, the 1796 election became the first U.S. presidential election in which political parties competed for the presidency. The Federalists coalesced behind Adams and the Democratic-Republicans supported Jefferson, but each party ran multiple candidates. Under the electoral rules in place prior to the <a href="/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Twelfth Amendment</a>, the members of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College" title="United States Electoral College">Electoral College</a> each cast two votes, with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. The individual with the votes of a majority of electors became president, and the runner-up became vice president. If there was a tie for first place or no person won a majority, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> would hold a <a href="/wiki/Contingent_election" title="Contingent election">contingent election</a>.

Jefferson received 68 electoral votes and was elected vice president. Former governor <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Pinckney" title="Thomas Pinckney">Thomas Pinckney</a> of South Carolina, a Federalist, finished with 59 electoral votes, while Senator <a href="/wiki/Aaron_Burr" title="Aaron Burr">Aaron Burr</a>, a Democratic-Republican from New York, won 30 electoral votes.

The election marked the formation of the <a href="/wiki/First_Party_System" title="First Party System">First Party System</a>, and established a rivalry between Federalist New England and the Democratic-Republican South, with the middle states holding the balance of power (New York and Maryland were the crucial swing states, and between them only voted for a loser once between 1789 and 1820).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Candidates">Candidates</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1796_United_States_presidential_election&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Candidates"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg/170px-Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="207" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg/256px-Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg/341px-Gilbert_Stuart_Williamstown_Portrait_of_George_Washington.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4628" data-file-height="5619" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a>, the incumbent president in 1796, whose second term expired on March 4, 1797</figcaption></figure> <p>With Washington retiring after two terms, both parties sought the presidency for the first time. Before the ratification of the <a href="/wiki/12th_Amendment_to_the_U.S._Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution">12th Amendment</a> in 1804, each elector was to vote for two persons but was not able to indicate which vote was for president and which for vice president. Instead, the recipient of the most electoral votes would become president and the runner-up vice president. As a result, both parties ran multiple candidates for president, in hopes of keeping one of their opponents from being the runner-up. These candidates were the equivalent of modern-day running mates, but under the law, they were all candidates for president. Thus, both Adams and Jefferson were technically opposed by several members of their own parties. The plan was for one of the electors to cast a vote for the main party nominee (Adams or Jefferson) and a candidate besides the primary running mate, thus ensuring that the main nominee would have one more vote than his running mate. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Federalist_candidates">Federalist candidates</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1796_United_States_presidential_election&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Federalist candidates"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Federalists' nominee was John Adams of Massachusetts, the incumbent vice president and a leading voice during the Revolutionary period.

election, increasing the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Electoral College (United States)">Electoral College</a> to 138 electors. </p><p>Under the system in place before the 1804 ratification of the <a href="/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Twelfth Amendment</a>, electors were to cast votes for two persons for president; the runner-up in the presidential race was elected vice president. If no candidate won votes from a majority of the Electoral College, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> would hold a <a href="/wiki/Contingent_election" title="Contingent election">contingent election</a> to select the winner. Each party intended to manipulate the results by having some of their electors cast one vote for the intended presidential candidate and one vote for someone besides the intended vice-presidential candidate, leaving their vice-presidential candidate a few votes shy of their presidential candidate. But all electoral votes were cast on the same day, and communications between states were extremely slow at that time, making it very difficult to coordinate which electors were to manipulate their vote for vice president. Additionally, there were rumors that Hamilton had coerced southern electors pledged to Jefferson to give their second vote to Pinckney in hope of electing him president instead of Adams. </p><p>Campaigning centered in the <a href="/wiki/Swing_state" title="Swing state">swing states</a> of New York and <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania" title="Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-wald1_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wald1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Adams and Jefferson won a combined 139 electoral votes from the 138 members of the Electoral College. The Federalists swept every state north of the <a href="/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line" title="Mason–Dixon line">Mason–Dixon line</a> except Pennsylvania, though one Pennsylvania elector voted for Adams. The Democratic-Republicans won the votes of most <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">Southern</a> electors, but the electors of <a href="/wiki/Maryland" title="Maryland">Maryland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Delaware" title="Delaware">Delaware</a> gave a majority of their votes to Federalist candidates, while North Carolina and Virginia each gave Adams one electoral vote. </p><p>Nationwide, most electors voted for Adams and a second Federalist or for Jefferson and a second Democratic-Republican, but there were several exceptions to this. One elector in Maryland voted for both Adams and Jefferson, and two electors cast votes for Washington, who had not campaigned and was not formally affiliated with either party. Pinckney won the second votes from most of the electors who voted for Adams, but 21 electors from <a href="/wiki/New_England" title="New England">New England</a> and Maryland cast their second votes for other candidates, including Chief Justice <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Ellsworth" title="Oliver Ellsworth">Oliver Ellsworth</a>. Those who voted for Jefferson were significantly less united in their second choice, though Burr won a plurality of the Jefferson electors. All eight electors in Pinckney's home state of South Carolina, as well as at least one Pennsylvania elector, cast their ballots for Jefferson and Pinckney. In North Carolina, Jefferson won 11 votes, but the remaining 13 were spread among six different candidates from both parties. In Virginia, most electors voted for Jefferson and Governor <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Adams" title="Samuel Adams">Samuel Adams</a> of Massachusetts.<sup id="cite_ref-annv_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-annv-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The result was that Adams received 71 electoral votes, one more than required to be elected president. If any two of the three Adams electors in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina had voted with the rest of their states, it would have flipped the election. Jefferson received 68 votes, nine more than Pinckney, and was elected vice president. Burr finished in a distant fourth place with 30 votes. Nine other candidates received the remaining 48 electoral votes. If Pinckney had won the second votes of all of the New England electors who voted for Adams, he would have been elected president over Adams and Jefferson. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr>

Candidates for elector did not always advertise a party preference or even for whom they intended to vote; in some districts, candidates from the same party were in direct competition, while in others, inconsistent support for all candidates of a party led states to split their electoral votes. These conditions make it difficult or impossible to determine voter intent in some cases. Moreover, some states' returns have not survived to the present day, meaning that national popular vote totals in this article are necessarily incomplete.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The table below calculates each state's popular vote by comparing the vote for the most popular Adams elector to that for the most popular Jefferson elector. </p><p>In Massachusetts, the best performing elector candidates for the First Western and Second Middle Districts, <a href="/wiki/Simon_Larned" title="Simon Larned">Simon Larned</a> and <a href="/wiki/James_Winthrop" title="James Winthrop">James Winthrop</a> respectively, were not selected by the <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_General_Court" title="Massachusetts General Court">Massachusetts General Court</a> to be electors.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Larned was a Democratic-Republican<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Winthrop was a former Anti-Federalist.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The totals for Massachusetts and Virginia appear to be incomplete.
