Why Voting Matters
Voting is how Dallas County residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for Dallas County voters is Alabama's primary and presidential preference primary on March 7, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Local work in manufacturing and health care means debates over manufacturing jobs directly affect Dallas County families.
About 15,500 people voted for president in Dallas County in 2024 (down about 13% from 17,900 in 2020). That equals roughly 56% of the county's estimated 27,700 adults, close to the statewide rate of about 55%.
That means roughly 12,200 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, Dallas County would add about 610 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
