Elections in Indiana |
---|
![]() |
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. [1] Jackson defeated Clay in the national election with 219 electoral votes. [2]
Indiana chose nine electors on a statewide general ticket. Nineteenth-century election laws required voters to vote directly for members of the Electoral College rather than for president. 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. [3] This table compares the votes for the most popular elector pledged to each ticket, to give an approximate sense of the statewide result.
