The 1964 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. State voters chose 13[1] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. George Wallace ran in the Democratic primary, but was defeated by Governor Matthew E. Welsh, who served as a surrogate for Johnson.
This is the only time that Randolph County and Wabash County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[3] This was also the first time Indiana voted Democratic since 1936.[4] As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which the following counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate: Allen, Adams, Bartholomew, Brown, Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Daviess, Decatur, DeKalb, Elkhart, Fayette, Fountain, Franklin, Grant, Hancock, Henry, Howard, Huntington, Jackson, Jay, Jennings, LaGrange, Lawrence, Marshall, Miami, Montgomery, Noble, Orange, Parke, Pulaski, Putnam, Ripley, Shelby, Tipton, Warren, Wells, White, and Whitley.[5]
