Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]Massachusetts law required a majority to elect for the U.S. House of Representatives. The original election was held on November 2, 1818.
[3]On March 15, 1820, this district became part of the new state of Maine.
[4]The totals listed in the Original Election Returns for James Parker (1237) and Thomas Bond (864) did not appear to include the towns of Wales, Winthrop and Whitefield nor Montville Plantation. Though the tally lists James Parker with 1237 votes, the official designation of votes where a winner is listed correctly lists James Parker with 1405 votes.
[5]The Original Election Returns list Joshua Gage with 175 votes but the town totals add up to 176.
