The 2024 Election: Where Did Arkansas Voters Turnout the Most?

by Kristin Higgins - November 7, 2024

Fewer Arkansans turned out to vote in 2024 than in 2020, but the state’s turnout rate is on par with 2016, according to analysis of Secretary of State election records.

Below, you will find counties with the highest and lowest turnout as well as a comparison of turnout in past election years. (These numbers are unofficial and will change by the time county results are officially certified.)

  • Saline County, near Little Rock, topped this year's election list with 71.66% voter turnout. However, only a few hundred more voters turned out than in 2020. The county had a population of 123,416 in the 2020 Census.

  • Nevada County secured the spot as the only county with fewer than 50% voters turning out.

As of Thursday, Nov. 7, the Secretary of State's Office reports 64.94% of Arkansas' 1,828,133 registered voters turned out for early voting and Election Day voting. That represents 1,187,243 ballots cast.
