This is a list of close election results at national and state level.

It lists results that have been decided by a margin of less than 1 vote in 1,000 (a margin of victory of less than 0.1%). To provide context, after the first table is another table showing the distribution of winning margins in different areas. Depending on the area, from 1 in 40 to 1 in 500 election contests is decided by less than 1 vote in 1,000. This list is limited to elections in which at least 1,000 votes were cast.

According to a 2001 study of state and federal elections in the United States between 1898 and 1992, "one of every 100,000 votes cast in U.S. elections, and one of every 15,000 votes cast in state elections, "mattered" in the sense that they were cast for a candidate that officially tied or won by one vote."[1]

While not an election, a member of Congress once owed his seat to the drawing of lots. In 1902, after more than 7,000 votes at three conventions, the Democrats were unable to decide among three candidates for nomination to Texas's 12th congressional district. Two candidates put their names in a hat, drew one out and the loser agreed to withdraw and support the winner. Oscar W. Gillespie won the game of lots, the nomination and the following general election, serving in Congress for 8 years.[1]

There are a variety of ways in which tied elections are settled. Some are decided by drawing lots or other games of chances. Others lead to a runoff or special election. Still others are decided by some third party such as the legislature or a high-ranking elected official. In one case in Crawfordsville, Indiana, in 1891, it was settled with a 200-yard footrace. In that case William Simms seemed to be cruising to an easy victory for County Treasurer when he tripped and fell 3 yards from the finish line allowing Frank Hollowell to win the race instead.[2]

2011Switzerland}} Swiss federal Ticino 0% 023979}}[3] Marco Romano and Monica Duca Widmer both had 23,979 votes.[4] Initially, a computer program was used to draw lots and Widmer was declared the winner. Following complaints and appeals, the Federal Supreme Court ruled against the Canton's decision to use a computer program for the lottery and ordered new manual lottery. This was conducted on November 25 and Marco Romano emerged as the winner.[5][6] (There were 760,995 votes cast in total for 8 seats. The PPD won two seats. Romano and Widmer, both of the PPD, were tied for the PPD's second seat.)
1994Canada}} {{flagicon|Quebec}} Quebec general Saint-Jean 0% 016536}} Incumbent Liberal Michel Charbonneau tied with Parti Québécois candidate Roger Paquin. Consequently, a new vote was held 42 days later, which Paquin won by 532 votes.[7]
1971USA}} {{flagicon|Virginia}}Virginia House of DelegatesDistrict 190%016410}}The initial vote count had Republican William Moss ahead of Democrat Jim Burch by 1 vote for the sixth at-large seat in what was then a six-member district. But then a three-judge circuit court ruled that one of the ballots was "defaced" because the names of two candidates were crossed out with the notation "Do not desire to vote for these two". They did this even though the person who cast this vote (which was known because it was a signed absentee ballot) testified that he intended to vote for Moss. Throwing out the ballot created a tied vote.[8] The names of the two candidates were placed in sealed envelopes, and a blindfolded Elections Board chairman plucked one from a silver loving cup. Moss won.[9] Two years later Moss would lose re-election by 0.03% of the vote.[10]
2003Canada}} {{flagicon|Quebec}} Quebec general Champlain 0% 0 11852}} PQ candidate Noëlla Champagne tied with Liberal Pierre Brouillette. Consequently, a new vote was held 36 days later, which Champagne won by 642 votes.[11]
2017USA}} {{flagicon|Virginia}}Virginia House of DelegatesDistrict 940%011608}}The initial vote count had incumbent Republican David Yancey ahead by 13 votes. After a canvas that included provisional ballots, Yancey's lead was cut to 10 votes.[12] Following a recount, Yancey trailed Democratic challenger Shelly Simmonds by one vote out of 23,215 cast.[13][14] After review by a three-judge panel appointed by the Virginia Supreme Court, a disputed ballot that had been excluded as an overvote was instead counted for Yancey and the race was certified as a tie with the candidates to draw lots to determine a winner.[15][13] The drawing of lots was later postponed after Simmonds asked a state court to reconsider the dispute ballot.[16] On January 4, 2018, the names of each candidate was placed inside a film canister, both canisters were placed in a bowl and one canister was drawn at random by State Board of Elections chairman James Alcorn. David Yancey won the draw and the seat, giving Republicans control of the House 51-49.[17] Control of this single seat determined whether Republicans controlled the House of Delegates or if power was evenly split.[18]
2010USA}} {{flagicon|Massachusetts}}Massachusetts House of Representatives6th Worcester district0%06587}}After Peter J. Durant was initially declared the winner by 1 vote, judge Richard T. Tucker ruled that one absentee ballot that was initially discarded was to be counted for Geraldo Alicea creating an exact tie.[19] Six months later, a special election was held where Durant beat Alicea by 56 votes.[20]
1963 Canada}} {{flagicon|Quebec}}Canadian federal Pontiac—Témiscamingue 0% 0 6448}} Paul Martineau (Progressive Conservative) and Paul-Oliva Goulet (Liberal) each received 6,448 votes in the Québec electoral district of Pontiac—Témiscamingue. Because the vote was tied, the returning officer cast his vote for Martineau.[21]
2015 USA}} {{flagicon|Mississippi}} Mississippi House of Representatives District 79 0% 04589}} After Democrat incumbent Blaine Eaton tied Republican Mark Tullos, he won re-election by drawing the long straw.[22] However, Tullos asked the State House to review the results, which they did, resulting in them throwing out some ballots for Eaton and seating Tullos. The vote was largely a party-line vote.[23]
1988USA}} {{flagicon|Massachusetts}}Massachusetts Senate Democratic PrimaryPlymouth District0%04543}}George F. Buckley and Michael Creedon tied, but Creedon secured the nomination and later the seat.[24]
1996USA}} {{flagicon|South Dakota}}South Dakota House of RepresentativesDistrict 120%04191}}Four candidates Democrats John R. McIntyre and Dick Casey; and, Republicans Hal Wick and Judy Rost were contesting two seats. In the initial tally, they had respectively 4195 (24.73%), 3889 (22.93%), 4191 (24.71%), and 4687 (27.63%) votes (16,962 total votes). McIntyre was initially declared to have been elected by a four-vote margin. Wick petitioned for a recount in accordance with SDCL 12-21-12. The recount was conducted in the presence of representatives for both candidates. The results were certified on December 4, 1996, and showed that Wick had been elected by one vote: 4191 (24.71%), 3891 (22.94%), 4192 (24.71%), 4689 (27.64%) (16,963 total votes). The South Dakota Supreme Court examined several ballots and invalidated one vote for Wick. The House then voted, mostly along party lines, 46–20 to seat Wick.[25][28][26] Remarkably, two years later, McIntyre and Wick would again tie (at least on the initial count).
1999 Canada}} {{flagicon|Nova Scotia}}Nova Scotia general Shelburne 0% 0 3,206}} Progressive Conservative Cecil O'Donnell tied with Liberal Clifford Huskilson (3,206–3,206).[27] The returning officer broke the tie by pulling Mr. O'Donnell's name from a box.[28]
1886 UK}} United Kingdom general Ashton-under-Lyne 0% 0 3049}} Conservative incumbent John Edmund Wentworth Addison and Liberal challenger (and English cricketer[29]) Alexander Butler Rowley were tied, 3,049–3,049. The Returning Officer (and also mayor[30][31][32]) James Walker[33] broke the tie by casting a vote for Addison.[34][35][36][37]
1978USA}} {{flagicon|Rhode Island}}Rhode Island SenateSenatorial District 290%04110}}Both Russell and Flynn had exactly 4,110 votes in the general election. On Jan 9th, 1979, a special election was held where Flynn beat Russell 2,546–2,038.[38]
1980USA}} {{flagicon|New Hampshire}} New Hampshire Senate Republican Primary District 16 0% 02,438}} Incumbent Frank Wageman found himself in a tied election after a hospitalization left him unable to vote in the election. Two numbered balls were placed in a black leather bottle, and the first one to roll out was the winner. Wageman's ball came out first and challenger Eleanor P. Podles demanded a recount that did not change the outcome.[39] Podles won a rematch in 1982.
1994USA}} {{flagicon|Wyoming}}Wyoming House of RepresentativesDistrict 210%01941}}Republican Randall Luthi and independent candidate Larry Call each received 1,941 votes in a state House race in northern Lincoln County. On live TV (NBC's Today Show) Secretary of State Kathy Karpan drew a ping pong ball with Luthi's name out of Governor Sullivan's rumpled cowboy hat.[40][41]
2006USA}} {{flagicon|Alaska}}Alaska House of Representatives Democratic PrimaryDistrict 370%01534}}After a recount, a state Supreme Court challenge and wrangling over five disputed ballots the race was decided by a coin toss, using a special coin with a walrus on one side and the seal of Alaska on the other.[42] Bryce Edgmon, the winner of the coin toss, went on to be Speaker of the Alaska House of Representatives.[43]
1887 Canada}} Canadian federal Joliette 0% 0 1532}} Conservative Édouard Guilbault tied Liberal F. Neveu, but won the seat after the deciding vote was cast by the returning officer.[47]
1896 Canada}} Canadian federal Assiniboia West 0% 0 1502}} Conservative Nicholas Flood Davin tied independent John K. McInnes. The deciding vote in Davin's favor was cast by the returning officer after the two candidates tied.[44]
2015Canada}}Prince Edward Island Provincial GeneralVernon River-Stratford0%01173}}On Declaration Day, Mary Ellen McInnis and Alan McIsaac had 1,172–1,174 votes. McInnis filed a petition for a judicial recount. Provincial Court Judge John Douglas discovered that a vote for Ms. McInnis was mistakenly put in the pile for Mr. McIsaac. The result of the recount was thus that they were tied 1,173–1,173. Pursuant to section 102 of the Election Act, the toss of a coin was completed by the Returning Officer. The results of the coin toss were in favour of Alan McIsaac.[45][46][47][48][49]
1843USA|1837}} {{flagicon|Indiana}}Indiana SenateSwitzerland County0%0915}}Daniel Kelso was initially up one vote on David Henry: 917–916. This election was extensively contested. It was alleged that two additional votes had been incorrectly given to Kelso, so that Henry had in fact won, 916–915. There was also one fraudulent vote found in favor of Henry, so the Senate Committee concluded that the correct vote was 915–915. But the Committee also found that the county provision in case of a tie (to let county officials decide the winner) was unconstitutional, and so they reported that no legal election had taken place in Switzerland County and neither Henry nor Kelso won.[50][51] One book[52] reports: Switzerland County was represented in the Senate in 1842 by Daniel Kelso; in 1843, 1844 and 1845, by David Henry. Also:

"It has been repeated time and again that the annexation of Texas was carried in the United States Senate by one vote; that Edward A. Hannegan, then the United States Senator from Indiana was elected to the Senate by one vote, and that that one vote was given Hannegan by Daniel Kelso, then senator from Switzerland County, who was elected by one majority.

"This is an error, for Kelso, when he voted for Hannegan as United States Senator, represented Switzerland County by virtue of a majority of about 150 voters of the county, over Samuel Howard at the August election of 1842. In 1843 David Henry was elected over Kelso by one majority. Kelso contested the election, and the Senate declared that neither was elected, and sent them back to the people for decision, and at the August election, 1844, Henry was elected by a small but decided majority."

(An apocryphal story continues to be told, for example by ABC News, about a "David Kelso" winning by one vote in an 1844 Indiana Senate election, the one vote being the vote of a dying man whom "David Kelso" once defended.)

1998USA}} {{flagicon|Massachusetts}}Massachusetts House of Representatives Republican Primary13th Hampden0%0876}}Official election results showed that Matthew Ferri won the primary, garnering three more votes than opponent Rodney Fountain, but a judge later ruled that it was a tie. Fountain secured the nomination when he was chosen by a group of delegates from the Springfield ward committees and the East Long-meadow and Wilbraham town committees, but lost in the subsequent general.[53]
1974 USA}} {{flagicon|New Hampshire}} United States Senate New Hampshire 0.000901% 2 110926}}[54] On election day, Louis Wyman won with a margin of just 355 votes out of more than 220,000. His opponent John A. Durkin then won the recount by 10 votes. After a second recount, Wyman won by just 2 votes. The Senate at first agreed to seat Wyman, who served the last 3 days of Noris Cotton's term, but began to deliberate again when the new Senate took office. When the Senate deadlocked for months, Durkin agreed to Wyman's proposal for a new election. The Senate declared the seat vacant and the governor appointed Cotton to hold the seat for six weeks until a special election on September 16. Durkin won the special by 27,000 votes.[55]
1839USA|1837}} {{flagicon|Massachusetts}} Massachusetts gubernatorial Governor of Massachusetts0.00098%151,034}}[56]Marcus Morton and the incumbent Whig Edward Everett received 51,034–50,725 votes respectively, with the remaining 307 votes went to scattering. The constitution of Massachusetts required a candidate to receive a majority of votes cast in order to win the office outright; otherwise, the legislature would have the authority to choose among the leading candidates. Morton exceeded this threshold by just 1 vote (50% of the 102,066 ballots cast), and had he not, the Whig controlled legislature would have been allowed to select the governor. The legislature could successfully deprive Morton of a majority if it disqualified the return from the town of Westfield. There was, moreover, an argument for doing so: the Westfield return was irregular and improper under the laws of the state because the attestation of its authenticity was not under seal. Instead, the return had been sealed first, and only afterward affixed with an attestation from the relevant local official. Despite pressure from partisans to contest this result, Everett refused. In the annals of American history there is not an equivalent example of a candidate in a major statewide election willing to forgo a victory so tantalizingly within reach based on, first, such a narrow margin and, second, such a readily available legal argument for invalidating disputed ballots.[57]
1984 USA}} {{flagicon|Indiana}}United States House of Representatives Indiana's 8th District 0.00171% 4 116645}} Indiana's Secretary of State (a Republican) initially certified Rick McIntyre as the winner by 34 votes, ignoring other recounted tallies that actually showed Frank McCloskey was in the lead. The Democratic-controlled House conducted their own recount and seated McCloskey after declaring him the winner by just four votes.[58]
2013Australia}}Australian SenateWestern Australia0.002125%123532}}[59]The Australian senate is elected by a series of complex preference deals. At one point the next party to be eliminated was between the Shooters and Fishers Party and the Australian Christians. The margin was effectively one vote at that point in the count, and depending on which party was ahead either the Labor Party and PUP or the Sports Party and the Greens would have been elected.

As the recount was taking place it became apparent that there were some missing ballots, which was greater than the margin, so the election was voided and a re-run was conducted in 2014.[60]

1910USA}} {{flagicon|New York (state)}}New York House of Representatives36th District0.00242%120,685}}Charles Bennett Smith, a Democrat, defeated the incumbent, Representative De Alva S. Alexander, a Republican, by one vote, 20,685 to 20,684.[61]
1988USA}} {{flagicon|Massachusetts}}Massachusetts Governor's Council Democratic Primary3rd District0.00340%114716}}Herbert L. Connolly lost to Robert B. Kennedy by one vote, and it was his own. Connolly arrived at his precinct a few minutes after the polls closed and wasn't able to vote. Kennedy won the following general.[62][63]
2003 Russia}} {{flagicon|Sverdlovsk Oblast}} Russian legislative Sverdlovsk Oblast District 163 0.00342% 5 73083}} Incumbent Georgy Leontyev held the seat by five votes,[64] despite allegations of vote manipulations, later rejected by the Supreme Court [65]
1997 UK}} United Kingdom general Winchester 0.00383% 2 26100}} In the General Election, Mark Oaten led Gerry Malone by 2 votes (26,100–26,098).[66] A total of 55 ballot papers were excluded from the count for want of official mark, of which 18 were votes in favor of Oaten and 22 in favor of Malone. Therefore, Malone would have had a majority of 2 votes had they been included in the count. On hearing an Election Petition in the High Court on 6 October 1997 Lord Justice Brooke and Mr. Justice Gage ordered that there should be a fresh election. The petition also stated that four voters cast tendered ballots after claiming to have been impersonated, but the impersonators could not be found and the allegation was not pursued.[67] In the subsequent by-election, Oaten easily beat Malone (37,006–15,450).
1882USA|1877}} {{flagicon|Virginia}}United States House of RepresentativesVirginia's 1st District0.00476%110505}}The initial tally had incumbent Democrat George T. Garrison up 70 votes on Readjuster challenger Robert M. Mayo. The Readjuster-controlled State Board of Canvassers then threw out the votes of Gloucester County and Hog Island precinct (Garrison had received all 14 votes from Hog Island). The new totals then had Mayo up one: 10,505–10,504. (A third candidate, the Republican John W. Woltz, received 168 votes).[68] Mayo was seated and served for a little over a year, but Garrison contested the result. The Committee of Elections then chose to accept the Gloucester County and Hog Island ballots and the House voted unanimously to seat Garrison.[69]
1868USA|1867}} {{flagicon|North Carolina}}United States House of RepresentativesNorth Carolina's 7th District0.004841%110329}}Plato Durham (D) was initially declared elected over Alexander H. Jones (R) with an 18-vote majority: 10,347–10,329. But the Republicans raised the cry of "fraud" and the votes were sent to General Canby at Charleston, who threw out enough to defeat Durham. Jones was then elected by 1 vote, 10,329–10,328.[70][71][72][73][74]
2004 USA}} {{flagicon|Washington}} Washington gubernatorial Governor of Washington 0.004842% 133 1373361}}[75] Democrat Christine Gregoire defeated Republican Dino Rossi, following two recounts, after the initial count and first recount showed Rossi as the winner.
1931 UK}} United Kingdom general Ilkeston 0.00569% 2 17587}} A.J. Flint (National Labour) gained the seat from George Oliver (Labour). After the polls closed it became clear that the Ilkeston election was very close. There were four recounts overnight, and the Returning Officer decided to call a halt in the early hours to return later in the day. At the end of the fifth recount, the Returning Officer declared Flint elected by a majority of two votes over the sitting Labour MP. This result remains the joint smallest majority in any individual constituency election since universal suffrage.[76]
1854USA|1851}} {{flagicon|Illinois}}United States House of RepresentativesIllinois' 7th District0.00592%18452}}On the initial tally, incumbent Democrat James C. Allen was ahead of challenger Republican William B. Archer by one vote: 8452–8451.

Archer contested. Livingston precinct had initially certified Allen and Archer's votes as 47–100 (in that precinct). But they later certified that they had made a mistake and the vote (in that precinct) should instead have been 46–102. In which case the overall vote should have been 8,451–8,453.

The Committee of Elections concluded that Allen had won by at least 1 and probably 2 votes and recommended that he be seated. However, the House voted 94–90 that Allen would not be seated and also voted 91–89 that Archer would not be seated either. The seat was thus vacated.[77][78]

In the 1856 special election or rematch between Allen and Archer, Allen soundly defeated Archer 13,081–10,136.[79]

1966UK}}United Kingdom generalPeterborough0.00626%323944}}Conservative Party incumbent Sir Harmar Nicholls defeated Labour Party challenger Michael Ward 23,944–23,941. Ward would again challenge and lose in 1970 and Feb 1974, but would win in Oct 1974.
1847USA|1847}} {{flagicon|Indiana}}United States House of RepresentativesIndiana's 6th District0.0067%17455}}Whig George G. Dunn defeated Democrat David M. Dobson 7,455–7,454.[80]
2017 UK}} United Kingdom general North East Fife 0.00727% 2 13743}} Stephen Gethins of the Scottish National Party saw off a challenge by Elizabeth Riches of the Liberal Democrats to retain the seat of former leader Menzies Campbell.[81]
1962USA}} {{flagicon|Minnesota}}Minnesota gubernatorialGovernor of Minnesota0.00734%91619842}}The vote count after election day had Governor Elmer L. Andersen in the lead by 142 votes. Then-Lieutenant Governor Karl Rolvaag went to court and won the right for a recount.[82] After the recount, it was determined that Rolvaag of the DFL had defeated Andersen, Republican, by 91 votes out of over 1.2 million cast. Rolvaag collected 619,842 votes to Andersen's 619,751.
1918USA}} {{flagicon|Iowa}}United States House of RepresentativesIowa's 11th District0.00768%426033}}The sitting Member George C. Scott had been returned by a majority of 131 votes, which Thomas J. Steele contested, alleging failure to count votes cast for the contestant and illegal counting of votes for the contestee.[83] In the recount, the tally changed to 26,033–26,029 and after some legal wrangling, Scott was declared elected.
1991USA}} {{flagicon|Virginia}}Virginia House of DelegatesDistrict 530.00770%16493}}On election night, officials determined that David G. Sanders (R), had won the seat by 17 votes out of nearly 13,000 cast. After a recount six weeks later, Mr. Scott was ruled the winner by a single vote. He immediately became known as "Landslide Jim."[84]
2018USA}} {{flagicon|Kentucky}}Kentucky House of Representatives13th Representative District0.0079%16319}}In the initial count, Democrat Jim Glenn defeated Republican incumbent DJ Johnson by 1 vote, which was confirmed by a recanvass. Johnson filed for a recount, and Glenn was seated on January 8, 2019. The House later ordered another recount which was carried out over the weekend of January 30.[85][86] Following that recount, Glenn emerged as the winner by 3 votes, but then the County Board of Electors voted to reinstate one of the votes taken from Johnson earlier in the day and later to count five of 17 rejected absentee ballot. The result was a 6,323-6,323 tie.[87][88] On February 8, 2019, when Glenn threatened to sue if a coin toss were held and he lost, Johnson withdrew his challenge, thus settling the election.[89]
2014USA}} {{flagicon|North Carolina}}North Carolina District CourtDistrict 50.00813%530746}}Lindsey McKee Luther defeated Kent Harrell for North Carolina District Court, District 5 by five votes: 30,746–30,741.[90]
1974UK}}United Kingdom generalCarmarthen0.00851%317165}}Labour Party incumbent Gwynoro Jones defeated Plaid Cymru candidate Gwynfor Evans 17,165–17,162.[91] Jones had also beaten Evans in 1970, but would lose to Evans in Oct 1974.
2002USA}} {{flagicon|Washington}}Washington House of Representatives Republican Primary26th Legislative District0.00852%15870}}Ed Mitchell defeated Kevin Entze by one vote: 5,870–5,869.[92][93] Adding insult to injury, one of Entze's friends admitted that they never got their ballot mailed. "He left his ballot on his kitchen counter and it never got sent out," Entze said.[94] Mitchell went on to narrowly lose the general election.[95]
1912USA}} {{flagicon|Kansas}}Kansas gubernatorialGovernor of Kansas0.00866%29167437}}George H. Hodges defeated the popular Republican Arthur Capper by a razor-thin margin of 29 votes out of 359,684 cast.[96][97][98]
1948 USA}} {{flagicon|Texas}} United States Senate Democratic Primary Runoff Texas 0.00880% 87 494191}} Lyndon B. Johnson is declared the winner over Coke R. Stevenson, despite suspicion about 202 mysterious votes from Precinct 13 of Jim Wells County.
1996USA}} {{flagicon|Vermont}}Vermont SenateRutland County0.00911%210978}}[99]There were six candidates for the three Rutland County Senate seats. On the night of the election, John H. Bloomer, Jr. and Cheryl M. Hooker received the first and second highest vote totals. Hull Maynard received the third highest total with 10,952 votes and Thomas Macaulay received the fourth highest total with 10,934 votes.

Macaulay petitioned for a recount, whereupon the Rutland Superior Court determined that Maynard still beat Macaulay by two votes: 10,978–10,976. Macaulay's petition for further relief was dismissed by the Senate.[100][101][106]

2000 USA}} {{flagicon|Florida}}United States presidential Florida 0.00921% 537 2912790}} Republican George W. Bush was ahead of Democrat Al Gore after the initial count by 1,784 votes. After a mandatory statewide recount his lead was cut to 327.[102] After military and overseas ballots were added in, his lead increased to 930.[103] An additional hand recount was halted by the United States Supreme Court which resulted in the certified margin. Later analyses of the recount show that different standards would have resulted in different winners, and the results; state actions prior to, during and after the election and the Supreme Court decision remain the sources of much controversy. The results in Florida carried extra importance because the other state elections broke such that the winner of Florida would also be the winner of the Presidency.
1982USA}} {{flagicon|New Hampshire}} New Hampshire Senate District 8 0.00934% 15352}} Incumbent George Wiggins (R) defeated Fred Belair (D) by 1 vote.[104]
2010 UK}} United Kingdom general Fermanagh and South Tyrone 0.00939% 4 21304}} Michelle Gildernew (Sinn Féin) defeated independent Rodney Connor.[105]
1970USA}} {{flagicon|Missouri}}Missouri House of RepresentativesDistrict 1160.01037%14819}}Both the initial count and a recount showed that incumbent Gus Salley (R-Warsaw) had defeated Morran D. Harris (D-Osceola), though a clerical error cost Salley 100 votes, indicating the real result was not nearly as close.[1] Harris brought the case to the House Election Committee to decide, but they chose not to overturn the results.[106]
1832 USA}} {{flagicon|Maryland}}United States presidentialMaryland 0.01044% 4 19160}} National Republican Henry Clay carried Maryland by four votes over Democratic President Andrew Jackson, but Jackson was reelected handily.[107]
1910 UK}} United Kingdom general Exeter 0.0105% 1 4777}} Henry Duke (Conservative), the incumbent at the time of the general election, re-gained the seat from Harold St Maur (Liberal) on an election petition in 1911. The court changed the original result (under which the Liberal had won by four votes). The revised result was the smallest numerical majority in a UK Parliamentary election in the twentieth century.[108]

1977USA}} {{flagicon|Vermont}}Vermont House of RepresentativesWindham-4 District0.087%1572}}On election night, Democrat Robert Emond was declared the victor over incumbent Republican Sydney Nixon by one vote. Nixon then petitioned for a recount in Windham Superior Court under the provisions of 17 V.S.A. § 1361. The recount committee in that court found Nixon to be the winner by one vote and the court gave him a certificate of election.

However, a House committee did its own recount and found Emond to be the winner by one vote (572–571 according to one site[337]). Rather than force the full House to vote on the recount report, Nixon simply resigned, thereby giving Emond the win.[250][338][339][340][341]

(Note that the year of this contested election is incorrectly given by many sites as 1997.)
