Primary elections were held on September 2, 1924.

Incumbent Republican Governor John J. Blaine won re-election to a third term, defeating Democratic nominee Martin L. Lueck and Socialist nominee William F. Quick.

As of 2022, this is the most recent instance of Walworth County voting Democratic in a gubernatorial election.

Lueck was the first Democrat since William A. Barstow in 1853 to win Columbia County and the first since James B.

Cross in 1857 to win Richland County; the latter would not vote Democratic again until 2002.
