Decay protons from excited states in ${}_{21}{Na}$ populated through a previously reported ${}_{24}{Mg} (p, α) {}_{21}{Na}$ transfer reaction [Cha et al., Phys. Rev. C 96, 025810 (2017)] were analyzed to extract the proton branching ratios of the energy levels. Additionally, by utilizing 31-MeV proton beams from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and isotopically enriched ${}_{24}{Mg}$ solid targets, the decay protons were detected in coincidence with $α$ particles from the $(p, α)$ reaction using a silicon strip detector array. Proton decay branching ratios of several ${}_{21}{Na}$ levels were deduced for the $p 0$ and $p 1$ decay channels to the ground and first excited states in ${}_{20}{Ne}$ , respectively.
