1816 United States presidential election in Connecticut

A presidential election was held in Connecticut on November 1, 1816 as part of the 1816 United States presidential election. The senior U.S. senator from New York Rufus King, the de facto candidate of the Federalist Party, received nine votes from electors chosen by the Connecticut General Assembly. Although commonly remembered as the last Federalist presidential candidate, King was not formally selected as the party's nominee and had no designated running mate; the Connecticut electors split their vice presidential votes between the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania James Ross and the chief justice of the United States John Marshall. This was the last election in which Connecticut's electoral votes were awarded by the state legislature.
