Why Voting Matters
Why does voting matter in Delaware County? Because every eligible voter here has exactly the same power at the ballot box: one vote. The next election for Delaware County voters is Indiana's primary election on May 2, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Local work in health care and retail means debates over health care costs directly affect Delaware County families.
Delaware County voters cast about 45,700 ballots for president in 2024, down about 5% from 48,200 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 92,100 adult residents, that works out to about 50%, below the statewide rate of about 54%.
That means roughly 46,400 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, Delaware County would add about 2,320 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
