![]() |
A presidential election was held in Connecticut on November 1, 1816 as part of the 1816 United States presidential election. [1] The senior U.S. senator from New York Rufus King, the de facto candidate of the Federalist Party, received nine votes from electors chosen by the Connecticut General Assembly. [2] Although commonly remembered as the last Federalist presidential candidate, King was not formally selected as the party's nominee and had no designated running mate; the Connecticut electors split their vice presidential votes between the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania James Ross and the chief justice of the United States John Marshall. [3] [4] This was the last election in which Connecticut's electoral votes were awarded by the state legislature. [5]
