The 1932 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. State voters chose 14[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Indiana was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Speaker John Nance Garner, with 54.67% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis, with 42.94% of the popular vote.[3][4]
This is the only time that Steuben County has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate,[5] and as of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election when Fulton County, Jasper County, Kosciusko County, Morgan County and Newton County backed a Democrat for President.[6]
