Since 1824, a national popular vote has been tallied for each election, but the national popular vote does not directly affect the winner of the presidential election. The United States has had a two-party system for much of its history, and the major parties of the two-party system have dominated presidential elections for most of U.S. history ...
Presidential elections were held in the United States from October 31 to December 2, 1828.

U.S. presidential election popular vote totals as a percentage of the total U.S. population. Note the surge in 1828 (extension of suffrage to non-property-owning white men), the drop from 1890 to 1910 (when Southern states disenfranchised most African Americans and many poor whites), and another surge in 1920 (extension of suffrage to women).
Prior to the election of 1824, most states did not have a popular vote. In the election of 1824, only 18 of the 24 states held a popular vote, but by the election of 1828, 22 of the 24 states held a popular vote. Minor candidates are excluded if they received fewer than 100,000 votes or less than 0.1% of the vote in their election year.
