The 1804 United States elections elected the members of the 9th United States Congress. The election took place during the First Party System. The Democratic-Republican Party continued its control of the presidency and both houses of Congress.
In the presidential election, incumbent Democratic-Republican President Thomas Jefferson easily defeated Federalist former Governor Charles Pinckney of South Carolina.[3] As the Twelfth Amendment had been ratified in 1804, this was the first election in which electors separately selected a president and a vice president.
In the House, Democratic-Republicans won moderate gains, boosting their already-dominant majority.[4]
In the Senate, Democratic-Republicans made small gains, improving on their commanding majority.[5]
