MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Long lines at the polls during Tuesday’s general election had a lot of people talking about high voter turnout. But despite those lines, voter turnout was actually down from the previous two presidential elections.

According to data from the Mobile County Probate Court, this year’s turnout averaged 54%, down from 58% in 2020 and 64% in 2016. Baldwin County saw 58.6% of voters participate. That was still down from 62% in 2020 and 65% in 2016.
