Tennessee voted for the Democratic-Republican candidate, Thomas Jefferson, over Incumbent Federalist President John Adams, but the exact election results are unknown. Jefferson did, however, win all three electoral votes.^[1]

Tennessee used an electoral district system to choose its electors, with each district electing a single elector. This is similar to the way Nebraska and Maine choose their electors in modern elections.^[2][3]
