A presidential election was held in Pennsylvania on November 3, 1896, as part of the 1896 United States presidential election. Voters chose 32 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, former Governor of Ohio William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative from Nebraska William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Pennsylvania by a landslide margin of 24.71%.
Bryan would lose Pennsylvania to McKinley again four years later and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft.
