Why Voting Matters
Voting is how George County residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for George County voters is Mississippi's statewide party primary on August 3, 2027, for state offices including governor and the Legislature; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. With retail and health care among the county's biggest employers, issues like local businesses are decided by the officials voters choose.
George County voters cast about 11,100 ballots for president in 2024, about the same as the 11,100 cast in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 19,400 adult residents, that works out to about 57%, above the statewide rate of about 54%.
That means roughly 8,340 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, George County would add about 417 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
With about 54 residents per square mile over 479 square miles, George County is a place where neighbors often know their local officials. The county is home to about 0.9% of Mississippi's population.
