The 1796 United States presidential election in Georgia took place between 4 November and 7 December 1796, as part of the 1796 United States presidential election. The voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Georgia cast four electoral votes for the Democratic-Republican candidate Thomas Jefferson over the Federalist candidate and incumbent Vice President John Adams. The electoral votes for Vice president were however not cast for Jefferson's running mate Aaron Burr, but for George Clinton from New York. These electors were chosen by voters statewide.[1]
