The 1800 United States presidential election in North Carolina took place on an unknown date in 1800, as part of the 1800 presidential election. Voters chose twelve representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
North Carolina voted for the Democratic-Republican candidate, Thomas Jefferson, over the Federalist candidate, John Adams. Jefferson won North Carolina by a margin of 2.6%, taking eight of its twelve electoral votes.
North Carolina used an electoral district system to choose its electors, with each district electing a single elector. This is similar to the way Nebraska and Maine choose their electors in modern elections. While it is known the elector from the Edenton district voted for Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, the county level results have been lost.[1]
