Why Voting Matters
In Montgomery County, the people who show up to vote decide who represents everyone. The next election for Montgomery 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. Local work in health care and retail means debates over health care costs directly affect Montgomery County families.
Montgomery County voters cast about 4,420 ballots for president in 2024, down about 13% from 5,080 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 7,440 adult residents, that works out to about 60%, above the statewide rate of about 54%.
That means roughly 3,010 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, Montgomery County would add about 151 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
Montgomery County is rural, with about 23 people per square mile across 407 square miles, so every vote carries extra weight in local races. The county is home to about 0.3% of Mississippi's population.
