Site selection for the 2024 Westercon was held by Westercon 74, the 2022 Westercon in Tonopah, NV. Until late June 2022, there were no bidders until Utah in 2024 announced a write-in bid for Westercon 76 to be held in Salt Lake City, UT. Because no bids had filed as of the filing deadline, the ballot for Westercon 76 was blank and all votes were write-ins.
Technically, since the Utah in 2024 bid did not meet all criteria for filing (required even of write-in bids) site selection was carried out by the Westercon Business Meeting which voted overwhelmingly to select the Utah bid which will run Westercon 76. (In the write-in balloting, Utah in 2024 received 55 of 60 votes. The remainder were 2 for No Preference and 3 just anti-Utah.)
