The 2004 Indiana Democratic presidential primary was held on May 4 in the U.S. state of Indiana as one of the Democratic Party's statewide nomination contests ahead of the 2004 presidential election. The winner of the state's primary, Kerry, would go on to be the Democratic Party's nominee for the national election. On Election Day, George W. Bush would defeat Kerry handily in Indiana and would ultimately be re-elected as president.
Results
By the time of Indiana's primary, Kerry had already secured the Democratic nomination after several decisive victories on Super Tuesday in March.
Indiana holds open primaries, meaning voters do not have to be registered with a certain political party to vote for a candidate in that party's primary (i.e., non-Democrats vote for candidates in Democratic primaries in Indiana).
