What does this measure?

The percentage of the voting-age population (18 and over) who voted in an election.

Why is this important?

Voting is a basic right of all citizens and indicates the citizenry's interest, commitment, and belief in the value of participating in the political process.

How is Arkansas doing?

In the 2024 elections (a presidential election year), Arkansas' voter participation was 50%. This is an increase from 2000, but 3 percentage points lower than the rate in 2020.

There was significant variation in participation rates across the state, with the lowest rates in Lincoln and St. Francis counties (31% and 35%, respectively), and the highest rates in Cleburne, Searcy, and Newton counties (62%, 63% and 66%, respectively).

Notes about the data

Rates were calculated using Census estimates of the population 18 and over. National data is only available for presidential elections every four years. Voter turnout was calculated using votes cast in the top race on the ballot.
