The winner of the election was to become president and the runner up vice president which led to the president and vice president during this election being from different parties. John Adams was a federalist that supported big central government and his vice president, Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic Republican that supported more powerful state government.

Thomas Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr received the same number of electoral votes to become president which led to the House of Representatives choosing who would be the President.
