Why Voting Matters
Voting is how Washington County residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for Washington 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. With health care and mining and energy among the county's biggest employers, issues like health care costs are decided by the officials voters choose.
Washington County voters cast about 9,490 ballots for president in 2024, about the same as the 9,480 cast in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 15,800 adult residents, that works out to about 60%, close to the statewide rate of about 60%.
That means roughly 6,300 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, Washington County would add about 315 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
Covering about 678 square miles with roughly 29 people per square mile, Washington County is the kind of rural community where a few dozen votes can settle a local election. The county is home to about 0.2% of Georgia's population.
