2024 Pennsylvania Auditor General election

The 2024 Pennsylvania Auditor General election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Pennsylvania auditor general. Incumbent one-term Republican auditor general Timothy DeFoor won reelection defeating Malcolm Kenyatta. The Associated Press called the election for DeFoor at 3:18 am on November 6.

DeFoor's re-election victory was attributed to his strong performance in conservative-rural areas and overperforming Donald Trump's margins in the Philadelphia suburbs. He became the first Republican Auditor General to win re-election since 1992. DeFoor carried Centre and Dauphin counties that Kamala Harris won in the concurrent presidential election.
