Voting results from the 2024 presidential election in Washington state have been unveiled

A recent analysis of the 2024 elections reveals significant differences in voter turnout across various age groups and demographics, both nationally and within individual states.

Historically, young adults aged 18 to 24 have been found to vote at a lower rate than older adults, and this trend appears to have continued in the 2024 elections. Unfortunately, the voter turnout of young adults in Arizona is not available in the provided search results. However, data shows that nationally, there were states where the majority of eligible 18-to-24 year olds did not vote. On the other hand, Washington, D.C., had the highest voting turnout for 18-to-24 year olds, at 73.2%. Arizona, meanwhile, had the lowest voting turnout for this age group, at 31.9%.

In contrast, adults 65 and older had the highest voting rate of any age group nationwide, with a national average of 65.3%. New Jersey had the highest voting rate among this age group, at 84.7%, while West Virginia had the lowest, at 62.8%. Interestingly, four states had a higher voting rate among men than women: Ohio, South Carolina, Idaho, and Maine.

In Washington state, the voting turnout among racial and ethnic groups was as follows: Black voters had a turnout of 49.2%, Hispanic voters had a turnout of 50.9%, Asian voters had a turnout of 52.6%, and the highest turnout was among white, non-Hispanic voters, at 75.5% for those eligible to vote.

The national average for voting among women was 66.9%, slightly higher than the average for men at 63.7%. In Washington state, 78.8% of adults 65 and older who were eligible voted in the 2024 elections.

It's worth noting that the voting turnout among eligible 18-to-24 year olds was lower than the national average for both men and women. Moreover, the voting turnout among this age group in Washington state was lower than the highest turnout recorded nationwide.

In conclusion, while the voting turnout among young adults remains a concern, it's encouraging to see that a significant number of older adults participated in the 2024 elections. Efforts to encourage voter participation among young adults, particularly in states where the turnout is low, could help bridge this gap and ensure a more representative democracy.
