Andrew Jackson received 99 electoral votes in 1824 and 178 electoral in 1828.
The 1828 election had more voters than any election before it, because it was the second election that the public could vote in (using the term "public" loosely because only white landowner could vote). Before 1824 the electors that vote for the president were selected by the state legislature. There was also a national campaign and more greater newspaper coverage before the election. (The idea that more people voted in the 1828 election is misleading. Although the number of popular votes greatly increased, only 57.6% of those able to vote did.)
The voting requirements change that affected the 1828 election was the relaxation of the property qualification for voting. This lead to more people voting in this election, and led to Andrew Jackson's election to the presidency.

In 1824, Jackson won more electoral votes than any other candidates but did get the required majority, so the House decided the election and they decided against Jackson and elected John Q. Adams. People did not run for President in those days the way that they do now. The fact that Jackson was not made President did not damage his future chances the way that losing a campaign does today. Jackson won the 1828 election fairly easily.
