Like much of the Southern U.S., Autauga County was historically a Democratic stronghold, voting for the party's presidential nominee in every election between 1880 and 1960. However, the county has switched in affiliation to the Republican Party over the past 50 years. The last Democrat to win the county in a presidential election is [[Jimmy Carter]], who won it by a plurality in [[1976 United States presidential election in Alabama|1976]].
