| Presidential / Vice presidential candidates | Popular votes | Electoral votes |
| Rutherford B. Hayes / William A. Wheeler (Republican) | 4,036,298 | 185 |
| Samuel J. Tilden / Thomas A. Hendricks (Democratic) | 4,300,590 | 184 |
Hayes won the Republican nomination on the seventh ballot; U.S. senator James G. Blaine of Maine was the leader on the first six ballots. Despite having fewer popular votes than Democrat Tilden, Hayes won the election after a special electoral commission awarded the twenty disputed electoral votes of Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, and South Carolina to Hayes.
