Why Voting Matters

Every eligible adult in White County, Indiana holds the same power on Election Day: one vote that counts exactly as much as anyone else's. The next election for White County voters is Indiana's primary election on May 2, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office.

That means roughly 8,290 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, White County would add about 414 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
