Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President. Delaware voted for the National Republican candidate, Henry Clay, over the Democratic Party candidate, Andrew Jackson. Clay won the state by a narrow margin of 2.04%. This was the first election in which Delaware voted by popular vote for president in a contested election. It had used the congressional district method in the uncontested election of 1788–89, but had since changed to selecting its electors through the state legislature from 1792 to 1828.Congressional Quarterly's Guide to U.S. Elections Congressional Quarterly, Inc. 1985 Moore John L. 2nd Washington, D.C. 254–56 Results + General Election ResultsGovernor's Register State of Delaware Volume One 1926 Public Archives Commission of Delaware Wilmington 301-302 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b4926417&view=1up&seq=306 17 December 2025The Politician's Manual: Containing Returns of Elections in the United States 1834 James Van Norden New York 25 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hx2wl5&seq=29 17 December 2025Party Pledged to Elector Votes National Republican Party Henry Clay Cornelius P.
