2024 United States lieutenant gubernatorial elections

Going into these elections, this class of lieutenant governors is made up of 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 1 Vermont Progressive. Vermont Progressives were defending one state won by Joe Biden in 2020 (Vermont), while Republicans and Democrats did not hold any states won by Joe Biden and Donald Trump respectively.

States where the margin of victory was between 1% and 5%:

1. Vermont, 1.69%
2. North Carolina, 1.89%

Blue denotes races won by Democrats. Red denotes races won by Republicans.

Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors use:

• "tossup": no advantage
• "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
• "lean": slight advantage
• "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
• "safe": near-certain chance of victory
