1820 presidential election voting period begins

On November 1, 1820, the legally authorized period for states to choose presidential electors opened, beginning the national election that would result in James Monroe's near-unanimous re-election.

The opening of the election period set in motion the uncontested return of Monroe and reflected the collapse of organized opposition, a hallmark of the Era of Good Feelings.
