Why Voting Matters

Why does voting matter in Union County? Because every eligible voter here has exactly the same power at the ballot box: one vote. The next election for Union 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. Local work in health care and retail means debates over health care costs directly affect Union County families.

Union County voters cast about 17,900 ballots for president in 2024, up about 15% from 15,600 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 23,600 adult residents, that works out to about 76%, above the statewide rate of about 60%.

That means roughly 5,750 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, Union County would add about 288 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.

Union County spans about 322 square miles of small towns and countryside, averaging roughly 86 people per square mile. The county is home to about 0.2% of Georgia's population.

ZIP codes in or partly in Union County include 30512, 30513, 30514, 30546, 30560, 30572 and 30582. Take two minutes to confirm your registration, preview your ballot with the links on this page, and decide when and how you will vote. Bring a neighbor along.
