The 2024 Montana Attorney General election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the attorney general of the state of Montana. It will coincide with the concurrent presidential election, as well as various state and local elections, including for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and governor of Montana. Incumbent attorney general Austin Knudsen is running for a second term. Primary elections will take place on June 4, 2024.[1]

Republican primary

During a fundraiser on May 11, 2024, Knudsen said that he asked Logan Olson to contest the primary as a dummy candidate, for the purpose of allowing Knudsen's campaign to raise more money in accordance with state campaign finance laws. Olson denied these claims. The director of the Montana Democratic Party lodged an ethics complaint following this disclosure.[2]
