Why Voting Matters

Why does voting matter in Quitman County? Because every eligible voter here has exactly the same power at the ballot box: one vote. The next election for Quitman County voters is Georgia's 2028 presidential preference primary, on a date not yet set, or the May 23, 2028 general primary if that comes first; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Many Quitman County jobs are in retail and health care, so decisions about local businesses and health care costs hit close to home.

About 1,140 people voted for president in Quitman County in 2024 (up about 3% from 1,110 in 2020). That equals roughly 60% of the county's estimated 1,910 adults, close to the statewide rate of about 60%.

That means roughly 770 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, Quitman County would add about 38 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
