What is the age breakdown of registered voters by county in Texas according to the March 2024 Secretary of State report?
Executive summary
The March 2024 Voter Registration Figures published by the Texas Secretary of State are the authoritative state-level release for that month, but the publicly linked March 2024 pages and county registration summaries in the supplied reporting do not present an age-by-county breakdown in the material provided here [1] [2]. The statewide registered-voter totals around that time are published by the Secretary of State—17,948,242 was reported ahead of the March primaries and later releases showed roughly 18 million-plus statewide—but the specific age-stratified county tables the question requests are not visible in the sourced documents supplied [3] [4].
1. What the question is asking and why it matters
The request seeks a county-level cross-tabulation of registered voters by age cohort for every Texas county as captured in the Secretary of State’s March 2024 reporting; such a dataset would allow comparisons of generational registration patterns across urban, suburban and rural counties and inform turnout and outreach planning (the value of county-level registration data is the basis for analyses cited by local researchers) [5].
2. What the Secretary of State’s March 2024 release shows in the supplied reporting
The March 2024 Voter Registration Figures page is listed among the Secretary of State’s historical election resources and is the natural starting point for county registration data [1] [6]. The Secretary’s office also posts county-level registration and early voting figures on its “Voter Registration and Unofficial Early Voting Figures” pages, which are the likely location for county summaries [2].
3. What is available in the supplied sources about totals and summaries
The Secretary of State publicly announced 17,948,242 registered voters ahead of the March 5, 2024 primaries, a statewide total from the office’s news release [3], and subsequent SOS materials referenced a record total near 18.6 million in late 2024 context [4]. The votetexas portal and SOS pages explain how registration is maintained and how to query one’s record, indicating the statewide database and county registrars as the underlying data systems [7] [8].
4. The gap: age-breakdown by county is not present in the provided reporting
Nowhere in the supplied March 2024 materials or linked SOS county summary snippets given here is a county-by-county table explicitly showing registered voters by age cohort (for example 18–24, 25–44, 45–64, 65+)—the curated sources do not include that specific cross-tabulation in the excerpts provided [1] [2]. Because the available snippets do not show such a table, it is not possible from these sources to produce the requested age breakdown for every Texas county without accessing the underlying dataset that the SOS may host elsewhere.
5. Where that age-by-county data would typically reside and next steps to obtain it
Detailed demographic cross‑tabs of registered voters, when published, are usually provided as downloadable spreadsheets or database queries on the Secretary of State’s historical or counties pages or via a data portal tied to the statewide voter registration database; the postelection county registration pages and the SOS historical index are the logical locations to check for a machine-readable age-by-county table [6] [2]. If not published there, the county voter registrar offices and the SOS “Am I Registered?” services are the official sources to request or to query individual records aggregated by age cohort [8].
6. Alternative public analyses and limitations
Academic and civic analyses have used SOS registration counts to map registration gaps, but those studies often aggregate to ZIP code or county and may focus on registration rates rather than full age distributions by county; for example, Rice’s Kinder Institute used state registration counts to highlight geographic gaps in Houston but did not publish a statewide age-by-county table in the materials cited here [5]. Given those reporting limitations, any publication claiming a full county-by-county age breakdown should be checked against the SOS raw tables or formal data request responses [2] [6].
7. Bottom line
Based on the supplied Secretary of State pages and related reporting, the statewide totals for March 2024 are documented by the SOS releases (17,948,242 ahead of the March primaries) but the specific age breakdown of registered voters by county is not present in the provided source excerpts; obtaining the exact age-by-county table requires downloading the SOS county registration dataset or submitting a data request to the Secretary of State or to county voter registrars [3] [1] [2] [8].
