The 1796 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on an unknown date in 1796, as part of the 1796 presidential election. Voters chose ten representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Early elections were quite different from modern ones. Voters voted for individual electors, who were pledged to vote for certain candidates. Oftentimes, which candidate an elector intended to support was unclear. Prior to the ratification of the 12th amendment, each elector did not distinguish between a vote cast for President and Vice President, and simply cast two votes. Due to this feature, the elector from the second district, Francis Deakins, cast one vote for both Adams and Jefferson. [1]
Starting with this election and ending with the 1824 United States presidential election, Maryland used an electoral district system to chose its electors, with each district electing a single elector. This is similar to the way Nebraska and Maine chose their electors in modern elections.

This was the only U.S. presidential election that spanned two calendar years without a contingent election.
The 1792 United States presidential election was the second quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Friday, November 2, to Wednesday, December 5, 1792. Incumbent President George Washington was elected to a second term by a unanimous vote in the electoral college, while John Adams was re-elected as vice president.

The 1796 United States presidential election was the third quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Friday, November 4 to Wednesday, December 7, 1796.

Incumbent Vice President John Adams of the Federalist Party defeated former Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican Party.
The 1800 United States presidential election was the fourth quadrennial presidential election. It was held from October 31 to December 3, 1800.

The election was a political realignment that ushered in a generation of Democratic-Republican leadership.
The 1804 United States presidential election was the fifth quadrennial presidential election, held from Friday, November 2, to Wednesday, December 5, 1804.

Madison's victory made him the first individual to succeed a president of the same party.

The election was the last in which the Federalist Party fielded a presidential candidate.
The 1820 United States presidential election was the ninth quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Wednesday, November 1, to Wednesday, December 6, 1820.

It was the third and the most recent United States presidential election in which a presidential candidate ran effectively unopposed. It was also the last election of a president from the revolutionary generation. As of 2022, this is the most recent presidential election where an incumbent president was re-elected who was neither a Democrat nor a Republican, before the Democratic-Republican party split into separate parties.
