The 2016 United States presidential election in Hawaii was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. Hawaii voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College by a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Hawaii has four electoral votes in the Electoral College. ^[1]

Clinton carried the state with 62.88% of the vote. It was her highest vote percentage of any state, though it also represented a significant decrease from Barack Obama's 70.55% vote share from 2012. Trump received 30.36% of the vote, surpassing Mitt Romney's 2012 performance by 3%. ^[2] Hawaii was one of two states where Clinton won every county, the other being Massachusetts. Hawaii was Green Party nominee Jill Stein's strongest performance, being the only state where she reached 3%. While Clinton won the sizable Asian population on the islands, exit polls showed Trump fared better with whites, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, as well as anywhere with a large military presence. ^[3]

Despite all of Hawaii's electoral votes being pledged to the Clinton/Kaine ticket, one faithless elector voted for Bernie Sanders for president and Elizabeth Warren for vice-president.
