Although four states did hold bona fide presidential primaries for the Constitution Party's 2020 candidates, no such primaries were held in any state for the party's 2024 candidates. This page is a summary of delegation votes from the April 27 nominating convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1]
Randall Terry, an anti-abortion activist and 2012 presidential candidate, won the party nomination.[2]
Stephen Broden was nominated for vice president.[3]
Randall Terry won the nomination by securing a majority in the first round. The votes largely broke down along geographic lines. Joel Skousen, who is from Utah, received all 61 votes from the delegations of the Four Corners states, but only 19 votes from the rest of the country combined. The only state delegations he carried outside of the region were New Hampshire and West Virginia. Paul Venable won the majority of votes from South Carolina and his home state of Missouri and Daniel Cummings won a plurality in his home state of Wyoming. The remaining ten delegations were all won by Terry.[4]
Aside from the presidential nomination, much of the debate at the convention focused on an ultimately defeated amendment by Skousen to remove references to God from the party platform.
