Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt on Tuesday certified Pennsylvania’s 2024 presidential election results. Shapiro signed the legally required certification certificate, which contains the final presidential election results for apply by Congress and other official purposes.
“More than 7 million legal, eligible voters participated in this election and once again, voters across the Commonwealth were able to cast their ballots safely,” Shapiro said in a statement. “Our local election officials in Republican and Democratic counties, ordinary Americans who do what they can to make democracy work, have worked tirelessly to ensure all 67 counties can hold free and fair elections.”
According to the final numbers for 2024, Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance won 3,543,308 votes. Kamala Harris and Minnesota’s running mate for governor, Tim Walz, received the Democratic nomination for vice president 3,423,042 votes.
Electors for President Trump and Vance will gather at noon on December 17 in the House of Representatives to vote in the Electoral College.
According to the Department of State, turnout in Pennsylvania was nearly 77%, and in 2024, more than 7 million Pennsylvania registered voters cast ballots.
Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes made it a key prize in presidential campaigns that cost millions of dollars and many hours of campaigning in the Keystone State. The election result all but guarantees that Pennsylvania will remain a swing state in future national elections; the state switched from Democrat Barack Obama in 2012, to Trump in 2016, to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, and now back to Trump for a second term.
