A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 5, 1832, as part of the 1832 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of the incumbent president Andrew Jackson and the U.S. minister to Great Britain Martin Van Buren defeated the National Republican ticket of the junior U.S. senator from Kentucky Henry Clay and the former U.S. representative from Pennsylvania's 2nd congressional district John Sergeant. Jackson defeated Clay in the national election with 219 electoral votes.
General election
Summary
Indiana chose nine electors in a statewide general election. Nineteenth-century presidential elections used a form of block voting that allowed voters to modify the electoral list nominated by a political party before submitting their ballots. Because voters elected each member of the Electoral College individually, electors nominated by the same party often received differing numbers of votes as a consequence of voter rolloff, split-ticket voting, or electoral fusion. This table compares the votes for the most popular elector pledged to each ticket, to give an approximate sense of the statewide result.
Results by county
This table compares the result for the most popular Democratic and National Republican electors in each county. The totals presented thus differ slightly from the statewide results summary, which compares the results for the most popular elector pledged to each ticket statewide.
