Presidential elections were held in the United States from October 26 to December 2,1824. Andrew Jackson,John Quincy Adams,Henry Clay and William Crawford were the primary contenders for the presidency. The result of the election was inconclusive,as no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote. In the election for vice president,John C. Calhoun was elected with a comfortable majority of the vote. Because none of the candidates for president garnered an electoral vote majority,the U.S. House of Representatives,under the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment,held a contingent election. On February 9,1825,the House voted to elect John Quincy Adams as president,ultimately giving the election to him.
