Hawaii voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College by a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.

Trump received 30.36% of the vote, surpassing Mitt Romney's 2012 performance by 3%.

Hawaii was Green Party nominee Jill Stein's strongest performance, being the only state where she reached 3%.

Twelve candidates appeared on the ballot for the Republican presidential caucuses: Delegates were awarded to candidates at the statewide and congressional district level proportionally.
