1976 United States presidential election in Indiana

A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 2, 1976, as part of the 1976 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of the incumbent president of the United States Gerald Ford and the junior U.S. senator from Kansas Bob Dole defeated the Democratic ticket of the former governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter and the junior U.S. senator from Minnesota Walter Mondale. Carter defeated Ford in the national election with 297 electoral votes.

Carter won the Democratic primary by a wide margin over his rivals. The closely-contested Republican primary saw the former governor of California Ronald Reagan defeat Ford in a narrow upset. Ford nevertheless went on to win his party's nomination at the 1976 Republican National Convention. Both major candidates campaigned in Indiana during the fall, with polls showing between 15 and 20 percent of the state's voters still undecided in the final weeks of the campaign. In the general election, Ford carried most of the counties comprising Northern and Central Indiana, while Carter did well in Southern Indiana counties in the Ohio Valley.
