The 1824 United States presidential election in South Carolina took place in 1824 as part of the 1824 United States presidential election. The state legislature chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
South Carolina cast 11 eleven electoral votes for Andrew Jackson. These electors were elected by the South Carolina General Assembly, the state legislature, rather than by popular vote.[1]
While presidential electors were selected by the legislature, polls were occasionally held to gauge popular opinion. However, these polls had little impact on the outcome of the legislative election. The returns listed below are incomplete.[2]
