The 1796 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on 4 November 1796, as part of the 1796 United States presidential election. The voters chose four representatives, or electors, through plurality block voting to the Electoral College. These electors then voted for President and vice president.[1]

Out of 51 elector candidates, four Democratic-Republican electors were elected who then voted for Thomas Jefferson over the Federalist candidate and incumbent vice President John Adams. The electoral votes for vice president were however not cast for Jefferson's running mate Aaron Burr, but for George Clinton from New York.[2][1]
