By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – September 13, 2024
With the switch to the top-down voter registration system and a major voter roll maintenance taking place, the secretary of state delayed release of August numbers; they checked and double-checked to ensure accuracy, finally posting on August 11th. The result of the maintenance effort was a drop of almost four percent (3.79%) in active voters. Party losses of actual voters and voter share reflect that.
Even with the adjustment, the trend remains unchanged. Non-Partisan voters are still the largest group of voters.
