A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of the governor of Texas George W. Bush and the former U.S. secretary of defense Dick Cheney defeated the Democratic ticket of the vice president of the United States Al Gore and the junior U.S. senator from Connecticut Joe Lieberman. Bush defeated Gore in the national election with 271 electoral votes.
Bush carried Vigo County, Indiana, which voted for the successful presidential candidate in every election from 1956 to 2016. This is the most recent presidential election in which the Republican ticket carried Marion County, which includes Indianapolis, or Monroe County, home to Indiana University Bloomington. It is also the most recent presidential election in which the Democratic ticket carried Scott County, Indiana. Bush became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the national election without carrying LaPorte County since Benjamin Harrison in 1888 United States presidential election.
Voters in Indiana chose 12 electors in accordance with Article Two of the United States Constitution, which provides that each state appoint a number of electors equal to its representation in the United States Congress. Since 1936, Indiana's electors have been selected by block voting in a statewide general election. The electors meet in the Indiana House of Representatives chamber of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis on the second Wednesday in December following the election and vote for president and vice president.
The following electors were nominated by the Indiana Republican Party and voted for Bush and Cheney at the meeting of the Indiana Electoral College on December 18, 2000.
