Why Voting Matters

Why does voting matter in La Paz County? Because every eligible voter here has exactly the same power at the ballot box: one vote. The next election for La Paz County voters is Arizona's presidential preference election on March 21, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Local work in restaurants and hospitality and retail means debates over tourism and small businesses directly affect La Paz County families.

In the 2024 presidential election, about 7,620 ballots were cast in La Paz County, up about 2% from 7,460 in 2020. With roughly 14,300 adults living in the county, that is around 53% of adult residents, below the statewide rate of about 57%.

That means roughly 6,720 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, La Paz County would add about 336 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.

La Paz County is rural, with about 3.8 people per square mile across 4,500 square miles, so every vote carries extra weight in local races. The county is home to about 0.2% of Arizona's population.
