The 2024 United States presidential election in Utah was held on November 5, 2024. Utah has 6 electoral votes. Voter turnout was 85.26%.

Results:
- Donald Trump (Republican) won Utah with 59.39% of the vote.
- Kamala Harris (Democratic) received 37.81%.
- Trump received all 6 electoral votes; Harris got 0.
- Trump carried all four Utah congressional districts.

Key notes:
- Harris’s 37.81% was the highest percentage for a Democratic presidential nominee in Utah since 1964, and Utah was the only state where Harris defeated Biden in 2020 in terms of vote share.
- A majority of Utah counties shifted toward Harris compared with 2020 (15 of 29 counties). Harris won Salt Lake, Summit, and Grand counties; Trump won the rest.
- Utah remains a strongly Republican state, a pattern tied to its conservative Mormon base. It has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

Primary and caucus context:
- Utah Democratic primary (Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024): Incumbent Joe Biden won easily, with minor opposition from Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips.
- Utah Republican caucuses (Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024): Donald Trump defeated Nikki Haley in what was one of his weaker performances in the GOP primaries. The state GOP returned to a caucus system after using a primary in 2020.

Other notes:
- Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced legal challenges to appear on Utah’s ballot but qualified on December 28, 2023, before later withdrawing and endorsing Trump.
