The 1820 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on an unknown date in 1820, as part of the 1820 presidential election. Voters chose eleven 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.[1] 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.[2]
