Elections in Montana |
---|
The 2024 United States presidential election in Montana 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. Montana voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Montana has four electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state gained a seat.[1]
A sparsely populated Mountain West state, though somewhat less conservative than its neighboring Great Plains and Mountain states, Montana hasn't been won by a Democratic presidential candidate since Bill Clinton did so in 1992. The state has not been competitive at the presidential level since Democrat Barack Obama came up less than 3 points shy of carrying the state in 2008. It has been carried by Republicans by double digits since 2012. Donald Trump won Montana by 20.4% and 16.4% in 2016 and 2020 respectively. Considered a strongly red state, Montana is favored to be carried safely by Trump in 2024.
The Montana Democratic primary was held on June 4, 2024, alongside primaries in the District of Columbia, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
