The 2024 United States presidential election in Indiana is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Indiana voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Indiana has 11 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat. ^[1]

Indiana has a reputation for being the most conservative state in the Great Lakes region, with Republicans winning the state in all but one presidential election since 1968: a narrow sweep in 2008 by Democrat Barack Obama (with Joe Biden on the ticket) of neighboring Illinois. As a strongly red state, Indiana is expected to go safely GOP in 2024. ^[2]

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term. ^[3]
