Notes:

John Q. Adams received fewer electoral votes and fewer popular votes than Andrew Jackson. However, no candidate earned the 131 electoral votes required for victory, so the United States House of Representatives decided the election on February 9, 1825. 13 state delegations voted for John Q. Adams, 7 for Jackson and 3 for Crawford. Henry Clay, who threw his support behind Adams, was subsequently appointed Secretary of State. This set the stage for a bitter rematch between Adams and Jackson four years later.
