Presidents who cast Electoral Votes
Posted January 25, 2005 at 02:00pm by Chronicler

I am aware of four times in which a President cast an Electoral Vote. The following is a list of these instances:

1) John Adams was chosen as a Federalist Elector in Massachusetts in 1820. He voted for James Monroe for President. Adams served as the Chairman of the meeting of the Electors in Boston that year.

2) James Madison was chosen as a Presidential Elector in 1800 and voted for Thomas Jefferson.

3) William Henry Harrison was elected on an anti-caucus ticket in Ohio in 1820 and voted for James Monroe for President. He was then re-elected in 1824 on the Henry Clay ticket.

4) Bill Clinton cast an electoral vote in 2016 in New York State for his wife Hillary Clinton and in 2020 for Joe Biden.

Does anyone know of other instances of a President casting an Electoral Vote?
