Election in Georgia
The 1820 United States presidential election in Georgia took place between 1 November and 6 December 1820, as part of the
1820 United States presidential election. The state legislature chose eight representatives, or electors to the
Electoral College, who voted for
President and
Vice President.
Georgia cast eight electoral votes for the
Democratic-Republican candidate and incumbent
President
James Monroe, as he ran effectively unopposed. The electoral votes for
Vice president were cast for Monroe's
running mate
Daniel D. Tompkins from
New York. These electors were elected by the
Georgia General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote.
