The 2024 United States presidential election in North Dakota 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. North Dakota voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of North Dakota has three 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 Great Plains state with a predominantly White populace and electorate, North Dakota has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B. Johnson won it in his nationwide 1964 landslide. Furthermore, it has only been decided by single digits in three presidential elections since 1964: 1976 , 1996 , and 2008 . Agribusiness and the recent oil boom have played a key role in cementing the GOP's overwhelming popularity in the state. North Dakota is considered a deeply red state , and Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump won it by over 30 percentage points in both 2016 and 2020 .
In terms of popular vote percentage, North Dakota was Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver 's strongest state, with 1.7 percent.[ 2]
This was the largest Republican presidential victory in the state since 1980.
