Apresidential election was held inIndiana on November 5, 1832, as part of the1832 United States presidential election. TheDemocratic ticket of the incumbentpresidentAndrew Jackson and theU.S. minister to Great BritainMartin Van Buren defeated theNational Republican ticket of the juniorU.S. senator fromKentuckyHenry Clay and the formerU.S. representative fromPennsylvania's 2nd congressional districtJohn Sergeant.[1] Jackson defeated Clay in the national election with 219electoral votes.[2]
Indiana chose nine electors on a statewidegeneral 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.
