A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 3, 1936, as part of the 1936 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of the incumbent president of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt and the vice president of the United States John Nance Garner defeated the Republican ticket of the governor of Kansas Alf Landon and the publisher of the Chicago Daily News Frank Knox. Roosevelt defeated Landon in the national election with 523 electoral votes.
This was the first presidential election held in Indiana in which the members of the Electoral College were elected as a block, rather than individually, following passage of a 1933 law. The legislation specified that the names of the national party nominees for president and vice president be listed on the ballot in place of the names of the candidates for electors; under the new system, a vote for a party's national ticket would count as a vote for the list of electors nominated by that party.
