Unlike today, in the first four elections electors cast two votes for president. There was no separate vote for vice president. Whichever candidate appeared on a majority of the electors' ballots was named the winner, while the runner-up became vice-president.

In early elections, the states used several different methods to choose electors. In some, the state legislature picked the electors. In others, the people chose the electors directly (via a winner-take-all statewide at-large vote, a system where voters in districts chose individual electors, or a combination of the two). A few states used a mix of the legislative and popular vote methods (with the legislature choosing when a candidate didn't receive a majority, or the legislature picking from among the popular vote winners).

State-by-state popular vote data is not available for early elections due to a lack of reliable and uniform data. Most historians use 1824 as the starting date for those numbers because of, what a Congressional Quarterly publication calls, the "availability, accessibility, and quality" of the returns since then.
