Andrew Jackson Democratic Martin Van Buren Democratic The 1836 United States presidential election in Michigan took place between November 3 and December 7, 1836, as part of the 1836 United States presidential election.

A dispute similar to that of Indiana in 1817 and Missouri in 1821 arose during the counting of the electoral votes.

Michigan only became a state on January 26, 1837, and had cast its electoral votes for president before that date.

The dispute had no bearing on the final result: either way Van Buren was elected, and either way no candidate had a majority for vice-president.

The number listed in the Albany Argus was as follows: Van Buren (D): 7,534, Harrison (W): 4,085.
