Andrew Jackson Democratic Andrew Jackson Democratic The 1832 United States presidential election in Vermont took place between November 2 and December 5, 1832, as part of the 1832 United States presidential election.

Vermont was the only state in the country that Wirt carried in 1832, by a margin of 6.08%.

As of 2017, Wirt's performance remains the best-ever by a third-party presidential candidate in any Northeastern state,[1] constitutes the solitary occasion a third-party candidate has carried any New England state,[a] and the only time a person from Maryland[b] has ever won an electoral vote for the presidency from pledged electors.

(Spiro Agnew of Maryland would in 1968 and 1972 win the electoral vote for the vice presidency.)

In Pennsylvania, no ticket for Henry Clay was run, allowing Wirt to consolidate the Anti-Jackson vote.
