Election in Delaware
The 1812 United States presidential election in Delaware took place between 30 October and 2 December 1812, as part of the
1812 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the
Electoral College, who voted for
President and
Vice President. Delaware had gained one additional elector compared to the previous
election in 1808.
Delaware cast four electoral votes for the
Federalist candidate
DeWitt Clinton over the
Democratic-Republican candidate and incumbent
President
James Madison. These electors were elected by the
Delaware General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote. The four electoral votes for
Vice president were cast for Clinton's
running mate
Jared Ingersoll from
Pennsylvania.
