The 2024 Washington State Auditor election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Washington State Auditor, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the U.S. Senate and various state and local elections, including for U.S. House and governor of Washington. Washington is one of two states that holds a top-two primary, meaning that all candidates are listed on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation, and the top two move on to the general election.

Incumbent Democratic State Auditor Pat McCarthy was re-elected to a third term.[1]

Primary elections took place on August 6, 2024.[2]
