The 2024 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Wyoming voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Wyoming has 3 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 sparsely populated Mountain West state, Wyoming is considered to be a deeply red state, and Donald Trump was expected to easily win the state. Wyoming was Trump's second-strongest state in 2016 and strongest state in 2020 (trading places with West Virginia), voting for Trump by more than a 40% margin in both elections. Alongside neighboring Idaho and Utah, Wyoming has voted Republican in each presidential race starting in 1968 and all but one starting in 1952.
Trump's performance in the state garnering 71.60% of the vote is the highest a presidential candidate has ever received in Wyoming, surpassing Ronald Reagan's 70.51% of the vote in the 1984 presidential election. Wyoming was nationally the most Republican-voting state in 2024, with Trump winning there by a margin of over 45%. This also marks the first time since 2012 that any candidate won over 70% of the vote in any state.
Primary elections

As the only candidate in the presidential preference poll taken at the state convention, former president and presumptive nominee Donald Trump easily won all 29 delegates.[4]
