1823 Maryland's 5th congressional district special elections

Special elections were held in MD's 5th congressional district on January 1, 1823, to fill vacancies in the 17th and 18th Congresses caused by the resignation of Samuel Smith (DR) after being elected to the Senate. Smith had been re-elected to the House in October. His resignation therefore created vacancies both in the remainder of the 17th Congress and in the 18th Congress.
