Chicot County voters cast about 3,490 ballots for president in 2024, down about 15% from 4,100 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 7,360 adult residents, that works out to about 47%, close to the statewide rate of about 49%.
That means roughly 3,870 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Chicot County would add about 194 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
