electoral college.
The national election was held in 1824, but the election went to the House because no candidate received a majority in the electoral college. The House elected Adams in February of 1825.
Andrew Jackson was the leader in electoral votes and in popular votes in 1824 but he did not get the required majority of electoral votes and so the House decided the election as the constitution requires.
