Contingent Election

What will happen if no candidate for president or vice president wins an absolute majority of votes in the Electoral College? A contingent election.

The contingent election process has been used three times in our history to choose our president of vice president (1800, 1824, and 1836). The purpose of this website is to gather information relevant to a 21st century contingent election process if one were to occur in an election cycle. We also curate information on the election process.
