Why Voting Matters
In Lamar County, the people who show up to vote decide who represents everyone. The next election for Lamar 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 Lamar County families.
About 6,880 people voted for president in Lamar County in 2024 (down about 4% from 7,190 in 2020). That equals roughly 63% of the county's estimated 10,900 adults, above the statewide rate of about 55%.
That means roughly 3,980 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, Lamar County would add about 199 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
Lamar County is rural, with about 22 people per square mile across 605 square miles, so every vote carries extra weight in local races. The county is home to about 0.3% of Alabama's population.
