1808 and 1809 United States House of Representatives elections

The 1808 and 1809 United States House of Representatives elections were held at various dates in different states between April 1808 and May 1809 as James Madison was elected president.

Despite Madison's victory, voters in districts whose economies were driven by shipping or manufacturing rather than agriculture shifted to the Federalist Party mainly due to the unpopularity of the Embargo Act of 1807 and fears that Democratic-Republican Party policies could trigger a naval war with France or Britain. The politically dominant Democratic-Republicans won their smallest majority since the pivotal, realigning election of 1800.
