1Electors were chosen by legislatures in many states, not by popular vote.
2In this election, and in others until 1804, each elector voted for two individuals without indicating which was to be president and which vice president. Because the two houses of the New York legislature could not agree on electors, the state did not cast its electoral vote. North Carolina and Rhode Island had not yet ratified the Constitution.
