Why Voting Matters

In Citrus County, the people who show up to vote decide who represents everyone. The next election for Citrus County voters is Florida's presidential preference primary on March 21, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. With health care and retail among the county's biggest employers, issues like health care costs are decided by the officials voters choose.

Citrus County voters cast about 98,200 ballots for president in 2024, up about 5% from 93,200 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 147,000 adult residents, that works out to about 67%, above the statewide rate of about 57%.

Put another way, about 48,700 adults in Citrus County sat that election out. Not all of them can vote, but if even 5% of them did, that would be roughly 2,440 more ballots, often more than the margin in races for local councils, school boards, the legislature or Congress.

Across about 582 square miles, Citrus County averages around 292 people per square mile, mixing neighborhoods, towns and open land. The county is home to about 0.7% of Florida's population.
