The 2024 Utah Republican presidential caucuses were held on March 5, 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election.[1] 40 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention were allocated on a winner-take-most basis.[2] The contest was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states. Donald Trump won most of the counties along with all 40 delegates, but Nikki Haley won Salt Lake and Davis counties. [3]
Controversy[edit]
Technological and staffing issues led to Utah being the last state to report Super Tuesday results.[4] Voters faced difficulties in casting their vote and some gave up on the process.[5]
