On February 21, 1818, Representative Peterson Goodwyn (DR) of Virginia's 19th district died in office. A special election was held to fill the resulting vacancy.

Election results[edit]

Candidate Party Votes[1] Percent
John Pegram Democratic-Republican 706 53.9%
James Jones Democratic-Republican 605 46.1%

Pegram took his seat on November 16, at the start of the Second Session of the 15th Congress.[2] Pegram would only serve for that single session, as he would be defeated for re-election in 1819 against James Jones.
