Kentucky cast seven electoral votes, as one elector didn't vote, for the Democratic-Republican candidate James Madison over the Federalist candidate Charles C. Pinckney. The electoral votes for Vice president were cast for Madison's running mate George Clinton from New York. The state was divided into two electoral districts with four electors each, whereupon each district's voters chose the electors.[2]
