The 1964 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. State voters chose four[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Utah was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 54.71 percent of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 45.29 percent of the popular vote.[3][4]
