The 1832 United States presidential election in Missouri took place between November 2 and December 5, 1832, as part of the 1832 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Missouri voted for the Democratic Party nominee, Andrew Jackson, over the National Republican nominee, Henry Clay. Jackson won Missouri by a margin of 30.33%. It is frequently reported that Jackson's popular vote win was unanimous, having received 5,159 or 5,192 votes. However, this was likely a reference to Jackson's plurality over Clay that was confounded with his total vote.
