==Summary==
President James Monroe ran virtually unopposed for re-election, but one elector cast his ballot for
John Quincy Adams, allegedly to ensure that
George Washington remained the only American president unanimously chosen by the
electoral college.
This election also marked the death knell for the
Federalist Party, which did not nominate a candidate for either President or Vice President.
In all, 235 electors were appointed, but deceased electors from
Pennsylvania,
Mississippi and
Tennessee were not replaced prior to votes being cast.
