The 1816 United States presidential election in Georgia took place between 1 November and 4 December 1816, as part of the 1816 United States presidential election. The state legislature chose eight representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Georgia cast eight electoral votes for the Democratic-Republican candidate James Monroe over the Federalist candidate Rufus King. The electoral votes for Vice president were cast for Monroe's running mate Daniel D. Tompkins from New York. These electors were elected by the Georgia General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote.[1]
