Notes:

[1]According to the census figures for 1810, New York was entitled to gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. However, the State Legislature made no effort to re-apportion the Congressional districts before the elections scheduled for the spring. Therefore, elections for U.S. House of Representatives were held using the previous district boundaries. The results of these elections were declared null and void. A newly elected State Legislature redrew the districts and set the dates of December 15-17 for new Congressional elections.
[2]Not all counties held elections for U.S. House of Representatives during the spring cycle, since it was known that districts were slated to be redrawn.
[3]The Cooperstown Federalist (Cooperstown, NY) reports 2085 votes for Arunah Metcalf in Otsego County.
[4]The Cooperstown Federalist (Cooperstown, NY) reports 57 votes for Arunah Metcalf in Decatur.
