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]
The 2024 Indiana Democratic presidential primary is scheduled to be held on May 7, 2024. 88 delegates, 79 pledged and 9
superdelegates, to the
Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates.[4]
In Indiana, candidates have to gather at least 500 signatures from each congressional district, for a total of 4,500 signatures, to make the primary ballot.[5] Incumbent President
Joe Biden was the only candidate that met the requirements.[6]Uncommitted will not appear on the ballot, but
write-in votes are allowed.[7]
