During this election, Connecticut cast its nine electoral votes to Federalist Party candidate Rufus King of New York. Nevertheless, Democratic Republican candidate and Secretary of State James Monroe won the election nationally.
With King's victory in the state, Connecticut became one of the only three states to vote for the Federalists, with the other two being neighboring Massachusetts and Delaware.
Although John Eager Howard was selected as King's running mate, Connecticut split its votes for Vice President between James Ross of Pennsylvania and Chief Justice John Marshall.
