Best Answer

Prior to the 1804 presidential election, electors cast votes for two persons. Electors could not distinguish between their presidential and vice-presidential choices until the passage of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1804. The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president - replaced the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. By June 1804, the states had ratified the amendment in time for the 1804 election.
