Indiana chose 13 electors on a statewide [[general ticket]]. Nineteenth-century election laws required voters to elect each member of the Electoral College individually, rather than as a group. 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.{{sfnm|1a1=Lampi|1y=n.d.|2a1=Ratcliffe|2y=2014|2p=57}} This table reflects the statewide popular vote as calculated by Michael J.

A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 2, 1852, as part of the 1852 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of the former U.S. senator from New Hampshire Franklin Pierce and the senior U.S. senator from Alabama William R. King defeated the Whig ticket of the major general Winfield Scott and the U.S. secretary of the navy William A. Graham. The Free Soil ticket of the senior U.S. senator from New Hampshire John P. Hale and the former U.S. representative from Indiana’s 4th congressional district George W. Julian finished a distant third.
