Electoral votes are the presidential votes actually recorded in the National Archives count, including split and faithless votes. The map uses modern state outlines as a geographic reference; these are not historical boundaries.
Minor popular-vote candidates not separately tabulated by the source are grouped as other recorded votes. Historical popular-vote figures and definitions can vary between compilations.
The popular-vote total covers recorded voting states, not a universal national presidential ballot; several states appointed electors through their legislatures.
States selected electors on different schedules; the archive records the election year rather than inventing a single national election day.
No candidate won an electoral majority. Andrew Jackson led the electoral tally, but the House elected John Quincy Adams in February 1825.
