Delegates to the 1932 Republican National Convention were elected from each of the state's congressional districts, along with seven delegates at-large. The plurality of the elected delegates were not publicly committed to supporting any candidate, but most were establishment politicians who supported incumbent Herbert Hoover. Where delegates pledged explicitly to Hoover ran, they won every race. Four delegates were elected on tickets opposed to the prohibition of alcohol under the Volstead Act. In the non-binding presidential preference primary held concurrently, U.S. senator Joseph I. France was the only candidate listed on the ballot, but several thousand write-in votes were cast for Hoover. Ultimately, all of the New Jersey delegates voted for Hoover at the national convention, as he was easily renominated. He lost the general election in a landslide to New York governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. Background Procedure In 1932, New Jersey was allocated 31 total delegates to the Republican National Convention. Seven delegates were elected at-large, and two delegates were elected from each of the state's twelve congressional districts, along with two alternates. Delegates were given the choice of pledging support to a particular candidate or running as uncommitted delegates.https://www.nj.gov/state/elections/assets/pdf/election-results/1920-1970//1932-primary-election.pdf Results of the Primary Election Held May 15th, 1932 New Jersey Department of State The state also held a presidential preference primary.

Further, three of the largest counties in the state (Bergen, Essex, and Passaic) did not record any write-in votes, depressing Hoover's total significantly.
