Kentucky cast twelve electoral votes for the Democratic-Republican candidate and incumbent PresidentJames Monroe, as he ran effectively unopposed. The electoral votes for Vice president were cast for Monroe's running mateDaniel D. Tompkins from New York. The state was divided into three electoral districts with four electors each, whereupon each district's voters chose the electors through block voting. Monroe electors ran unopposed in Districts 1 and 3. In District 2, a single Federalist elector pledged to Monroe ran, winning more votes than the best performing Monroe elector.[1]
