The 2024 United States Senate election in Utah will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Utah. Incumbent Republican Senator Mitt Romney was elected with 62.6% of the vote in 2018 and has declined to seek a second term.[1] Utah is considered a safe red state by election analysts; no Democrat has served in the Senate from the state since Frank Moss left office in 1977.[2] Primary elections will take place on June 25, 2024.[3]
