A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of the governor of New York Franklin D. Roosevelt and the speaker of the United States House of Representatives John Nance Garner defeated the Republican ticket of the incumbent president of the United States Herbert Hoover and the vice president of the United States Charles Curtis. Roosevelt defeated Hoover in the national election with 472 electoral votes.[1]

General election

Statistics

Roosevelt became the only Democratic presidential candidate to carry Steuben County, Indiana.[2] As of the 2024, this remains the most recent presidential election in which the Democratic ticket carried Fulton, Jasper, Kosciusko, Morgan and Newton counties.[3]

Summary

Indiana chose 14 electors on a statewide general ticket. State law required voters to elect each member of the Electoral College individually, rather than as a group.[4] This sometimes resulted in small differences in the number of votes cast for electors pledged to the same presidential candidate, if some voters did not vote for all the electors nominated by a party.[5] The following table quotes the official returns published by the secretary of state of Indiana, which list the votes for the first elector on each ticket.[6]
