1816 Maryland's 5th congressional district special elections

The 1816 special elections for Maryland's 5th congressional district were to fill two separate vacancies. The 5th district was a plural district, with two seats. Both seats were vacated, the first by Representative Nicholas R. Moore (DR) in 1815, before the 14th Congress even met,[1] and the second by Rep. William Pinkney (DR) on April 18, 1816, after being named Minister to Russia.[1]
