The 1964 United States presidential election in North Dakota took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose four[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
North Dakota was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 57.97% of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 41.88% of the popular vote, a 16.09% margin of victory.[3][4]
As of 2024, this is the last time that North Dakota has voted for a Democratic presidential nominee,[5] as well as the last time that a Democrat would carry the following counties: Burleigh, Ward, Stark, Williams, Stutsman, Richland, Barnes, Pembina, Bottineau, McKenzie, McHenry, Dickey, Wells, LaMoure, Bowman, Hettinger, Burke, Oliver, Billings, and Slope.[5]
Emmons County, along with Camas and Custer counties in nearby Idaho, would be the only counties outside of the antebellum slave states to flip from Kennedy to Goldwater in this election.
