The following candidates were eligible for nomination at the Missouri caucuses:[5]

Background edit
In June 2022, Governor Mike Parson signed HB 1878, which repealed the state's presidential primary.[6] Numerous attempts were made by the Missouri General Assembly to reinstate it, but it was not done in time. In October 2023, the Missouri Republican Party announced it would hold caucuses in 2024.[7]

Notes edit
- ^ The number of pledged national convention delegates is calculated through the number of state delegates won, however, a candidate must get both at least 15% of the total vote to get statewide delegates and at least 15% of the vote in a congressional district to get district delegates from that district. Each precinct has a certain number of state delegates and allocates them based on how many caucus goers there are for each candidate at that precinct.
- ^ Delegates aren't formally bound until the state convention on May 4
- ^ The Missouri Republican Party has only released the state delegate results instead of the popular vote.[1]
- ^ Key:
A – all adults
RV – registered voters
LV – likely voters
V – unclear - ^ Josh Hawley with 7%
- ^ Josh Hawley with 6%; "Someone else" with 17%
- ^ Josh Hawley with 29%; Ivanka Trump with 13%
