Incumbent President Ronald Reagan was again selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1984 Republican National Convention held from August 20 to August 23, 1984, in Dallas, Texas.

The primaries were uneventful as Reagan was virtually assured of the nomination by virtue of his popularity within the party.

Ronald Reagan won in a landslide, winning every contest and garnering more than 6.4 million votes.

Ronald Reagan would go on to win the most Electoral votes achieved by any president in history in the General election of that year.

This was the last time in the 20th century that the vice presidential candidate of either major party was nominated by roll call vote.
