The 2024 United States presidential election in Utah is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Utah voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Utah has six electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.[1]

A Mountain West state, owing largely to its conservative Mormon majority, Utah has not been won by a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B Johnson's 1964 landslide — granted that the GOP margin of victory has been lower than usual in the past two elections due to a considerable share of third-party votes statewide and growing Democratic trends in Salt Lake and Summit Counties — and is expected to be won comfortably by Republican nominee Donald Trump.[2] The Democratic candidate is expected to compete with independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for second place.[3]

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is not running for reelection to a second term.[4] Former President Donald Trump is running for reelection to a second non-consecutive term after losing to Biden in 2020.[5] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has gathered the required signatures to qualify for the ballot, as he announced in early January.[6] A June 2024 poll found that Donald Trump would get 49%, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would receive 20%, Joe Biden would get 20%, and uncertain/don't know 11% if it the election was held today.[3]
