The 1876 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 7, 1876, as part of the 1876 presidential election. State voters chose ten representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Alabama was won by Samuel J. Tilden, the former governor of New York (D–New York), running with Thomas A. Hendricks, the governor of Indiana, with 59.98% of the popular vote, against Rutherford B. Hayes, the governor of Ohio (R-Ohio), running with Representative William A. Wheeler, with 40.02% of the vote. This was the first time since 1848 that Alabama backed the losing candidate in a presidential election with the primary opponent listed on the ballot.In 1856, John C. Frémont was not listed on the state ballot and only Buchanan and Fillmore were listed as candidates. Retroactively in 1860, Lincoln was not listed on the ballot and only Bell, Breckinridge, and Douglas were listed as candidates. Both Frémont and Lincoln were the Republican nominees
