As no candidate received a majority of the vote, the New Hampshire General Court was required to decide the election, both Houses in convention choosing among the top two vote-getters, Gilman and Plumer. The legislative election was held on June 4, 1812.[5]
^Some sources give slightly different votes for Gilman. The result given is taken from the New Hampshire Senate Journal.[9][10]
