In 1796, as per the constitution, electors each voted twice. The winner was elected president and the second place finisher was vice-president. When the constitution was written political parties were not a force and they were not considered. 1796 was the first contested election and there were two parties, those who supported Adams and those who supported Jefferson. They first 1-2 in the electoral voting. In 1801, the 12th amendment was added to the constitution, creating two ballots in the electoral college, one for president and one for vice-president.

The 12th amendment changed this procedure to the procedure used nowadays.
