1806 United States House of Representatives election in Rhode Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhode Island elected its members August 26, 1806. Rhode Island law required a majority of votes to win. In this election, only one candidate won a majority on the first ballot, and so a run-off election was required to choose the second seat.
