Migration is one input to a place’s political change, not its cause — a shift can also come from residents changing their minds, generational turnover, or turnout. These figures describe the places people moved between; they do not measure how any mover voted.

Sharkey County's heavily Black majority population — among the highest proportions in Mississippi — anchors a Democratic lean that has held across multiple election cycles, even as surrounding Delta counties have shifted toward Republicans.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 99.8 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 79.4 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 1.2 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 36.8 points.
A population of 3,872, a 23% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $40,000 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Washington County and Calhoun County.
