The 2024 United States presidential election in Kansas 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. Kansas voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Kansas has six 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]
Kansas is a sparsely populated Great Plains state that has not voted Democratic for president since 1964 and is considered by nearly all major news organizations to be safely Republican at the presidential level. Although Democrats have seen some success in the state in recent years, such as defeating the 2022 Kansas abortion referendum and holding the governorship since 2019, Kansas voted for Donald Trump by double digits in 2016 and 2020 (although the margins have decreased somewhat from the overwhelming Republican margins previously).
