Adults 65 and older demonstrated the highest voting rate nationwide, with an average of 65.3%. New Jersey led the pack with the highest voting rate among this demographic, at 84.7%. Conversely, Arizona had the lowest voter turnout among 18-to-24-year-olds at 31.9%. Interestingly, only 17 states, plus the District of Columbia, saw a majority of eligible 18-to-24-year-olds casting their votes. Washington, D.C., however, stood out with a voter turnout of 73.2% among this age group.

Nationwide, 66.9% of eligible women and 63.7% of eligible men voted in the 2024 elections. Historically, this trend of women voting at a slightly lower rate than men has been consistent.

In conclusion, the 2024 elections saw a diverse participation across various demographic groups. While the trend of young adults voting at a lower rate compared to older adults persisted, there were notable exceptions such as Washington, D.C., where a high proportion of young adults participated in the voting process.
