The 2024 United States presidential election in Maryland 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. Maryland voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Maryland has 10 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]

Mainly owing to the progressive Baltimore and Washington, DC areas (where the vast majority of Marylanders live), Democrats have consistently won Maryland's electoral votes by double digits since 1992, with Joe Biden of next-door neighbor Delaware doing so by 33 points in 2020 and with 52% of the White vote becoming the first Dem presidential candidate since LBJ in 1964 to have a majority showing with said electoral demographic. ^[2] Maryland is expected to be a safe blue state in 2024. ^[3]

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term. ^[4]
