Presidential elections were held in the United States from October 26 to December 2, 1824. Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and William Crawford were the primary contenders for the presidency. The result of the election was inconclusive, as no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote.
The 1824 presidential election was the only time that the House elected the president under the terms of the Twelfth Amendment, and the only time that the winner of the most electoral votes did not win the presidency. This was the first occasion where the candidate who won the popular vote did not win the presidency.
Jackson, angered at having been denied the 1824 election, ran again against Adams in 1828 and defeated him handily. He won reelection against Clay in 1832, with Van Buren as his running mate. Van Buren was then elected president in 1836 before losing reelection to William Henry Harrison in 1840.
