On 8 March 2016, voters expressed their preferences for the Republican and Constitution parties nominee for President. The Democratic Party held a caucus on March 26. Registered members of the party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote.
Donald Trump won the election in Idaho with 59.2% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 27.6% of the vote. Despite the national Republican trend, Trump carried Idaho by a slightly reduced margin than Mitt Romney in 2012, in large part because he lost support to third party candidates Evan McMullin and Gary Johnson.
