2024 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia
The 2024 United States presidential election in the District of Columbia 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. District of Columbia voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The District of Columbia has 3 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the district neither gained nor lost a seat. Per the Constitution, the District of Columbia cannot be apportioned more members of the Electoral College than the number apportioned to the state apportioned the fewest.

As an urban area with an African American predominance, Democrats have faced almost no challenge to earn the District of Columbia's electoral votes in presidential elections since it was first granted its electoral college representation. Starting with Lyndon B. Johnson's victory in 1964, every Democratic nominee for president has won the District by massive margins, including the 49-state landslide defeats of George McGovern and Walter Mondale in 1972 and 1984. Thus, the district is predicted to again be a very easy Democratic win in 2024.
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.
