Less than one percent. With release of the April voter registration numbers, that is the difference between Democratic Party and Non-Partisan voter share. Less than one percent from Non-Partisan becoming the largest group of active registered voters in the state.
NOTE: Elko County performed voter roll maintenance in April resulting in the decline of voters reflected in the below tables.

The voter share of those not registered to either the Democratic or Republican Party increased in 9 of the 15 rural counties with an average share of 31.55 percent (decrease of 1.74% due to Elko list maintenance with a range 22.98 to 39.79)
Voters not registered to vote as either Democratic or Republican continue to be the largest segment of voters in the state and in Clark and Washoe Counties. Non-Partisan continue to lead among voters between the ages 18 to 34; over 52% not Democratic or Republican. With less than one percent separating Democratic and Non-Partisan voter share statewide, the looming question; when will Non-Partisan become the leading group of voters?
