In 1824 four candidates received electoral votes and no candidate got the majority required to be elected, so the House decided the election. (In 1800 Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr tied in electoral vote because at that time, each elector had two votes. This situation was changed by the 12th amendment.)
