Why Voting Matters
Voting is how Washington County residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for Washington County voters is Indiana's primary election on May 2, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. With manufacturing and retail among the county's biggest employers, issues like manufacturing jobs are decided by the officials voters choose.
Washington County voters cast about 12,700 ballots for president in 2024, up about 5% from 12,100 in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 22,300 adult residents, that works out to about 57%, close to the statewide rate of about 54%.
That means roughly 9,600 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 480 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
