New Jersey's at-large congressional district special election, 1814
A special election was held in New Jersey's at-large congressional district October 10–11, 1814 to fill a vacancy left by the death of Jacob Hufty (F) on May 20, 1814. Hufty had been elected to the short-lived 3rd district, but, as New Jersey had already switched back to an at-large district, the special election was held at-large as well.
